NSAL Chapter List

Proposed name for your chapter. The name can no longer be a whole state like Indiana or Kentucky. We now require a city or area designation like Saint Louis or Greater Arizona.

Geographical area from which members will be drawn. Check our directory (Chapter Directory) which outlines our chapter locations. There can be only one chapter in a city, but there may be several chapters in a state.

Name of founder(s).

List of proposed members and their addresses.

Short biography of proposed members including education, professional background, classification (Art, Dance, Drama, Literature, Music, Musical Theater, Patron).

Contact the NSAL Second Vice President for approval to form a new chapter (see our Leadership page for a list of National Officers). After approval is granted, several forms will need to be completed and submitted. For each chapter member, an initiation fee ($45) and National dues ($40) must be sent to the National Treasurer. Chapter bylaws will also need to be approved by the National Bylaws Chair. A generic bylaws sample will be supplied to help guide you through the process.

Finally, a National team will meet with your group for a Charter signing — and voilà — you’re on your way!
