The goal of the Sections & Chapters Council is to enable, encourage, and ensure strong Sections and Chapters to fulfill the core purpose of the Association at the local level and provide a conduit of information between Sections and Chapters and the Association leadership.


With 32 Sections and 100 Chapters worldwide, A&WMA local member units are the grass-roots network for the Association.  This system is essential for meeting the needs of our members.  View the Sections & Chapters map to find a Section or Chapter near you.  Or, use the list below to link to A&WMA's local member units with active web sites.
