The distinction between a chapter and an affiliate has been hazy in the past. Groups can start as a chapter and then transition to being an affiliate as their membership expands and they hold several conferences. A chapter is a good way for a new organization to start. These are "win-win" initiatives, where each chapter/affiliate promotes MMIRA membership and MMIRA promotes its initiatives.
