Start a Local Chapter

Start a Local Chapter!

The benefits of membership in the IGGA are magnified when combined with membership in an IGGA Local Chapter. Please consider joining an existing local chapter, or if none exists in the vicinity, to consider forming one! The IGGA's Local Chapter Liaison, Marceline Donaldson, is here to help you.

The IGGA provides seed money, model bylaws, advice and moral support to assist in forming new chapters. All that is needed to start a Local Chapter is ten (10) IGGA Artist Memberships (three willing to be officers), enthusiasm and a love of glass. Local Chapters operate under bylaws tailored to each Chapter's membership. Each Chapter sets its own agenda, which could consist of sharing knowledge about glass, sponsoring classes, filed trips, retreats, hands-on "play days", show and tell sessions, or just sharing wine and glass talk.

The New England Chapter (IGGA-NEC) has been providing a forum for glass enthusiasts at the local level for over 6 years. Many new local chapters are forming now ... be a part of the excitement! Check the contact info below to find out when Local Chapters are meeting.
