# Chapters

Chapters allow you to organize members into regional, topical, or functional sub-groups within an association.

## Creating a Chapter

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Chapters">
    Navigate to your association and select **Chapters** from the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Create Chapter">
    Enter the chapter name, description, and optional location.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign Leadership">
    Designate a chapter lead who will manage the chapter's members and events.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Chapter Settings

Each chapter can have its own configuration:

* **Name & Description** — Identify the chapter
* **Location** — City, region, or country the chapter represents
* **Chapter Lead** — The member responsible for managing the chapter
* **Membership Types** — Optionally restrict which membership types can join
* **Events** — Chapters can host their own events independently

<Tip>
  Chapter leads can manage their chapter's members and events without needing full association admin access.
</Tip>

## Managing Chapter Members

Members can belong to one or more chapters. You can:

* **Add members** directly to a chapter
* **Bulk assign** members based on location or membership type
* **Transfer members** between chapters

## Chapter Analytics

Each chapter has its own dashboard showing:

* Total members and growth trends
* Event attendance rates
* Dues collection status for chapter members

<Info>
  Chapter-level analytics roll up into the association-wide dashboard automatically.
