Starting a new chapter may seem overwhelming, but it actually does not require as much work as you think. The national center has provided a step-by-step process that is easy to follow. Review the steps at: https://bpa.org/educators/start-a-chapter/#steps

These steps will register your chapter on the national and state database for this year. However, “starting a chapter” does not end there. After officially registering your chapter, there are other inner-chapter activities you should partake in. Below are some basic procedures BPA chapters take.

  • Register the chapter as a school club if necessary

  • Recruit members

  • Assign or elect officers

  • Create a calendar of events

  • Make a list of goals for the year

  • Fundraise for scholarships or bonding events

  • Plan for various conferences: state and national
