Getting Started
Starting and operating a viable and sustainable IIBA Chapter
Requires the dedication of committed volunteers who are active IIBA Members in good standing. Following is a brief overview of the Chapter Start-Up Requirements, Commitment and Process.
Requirements:
- A minimum of 3 IIBA Members, active and in good standing, to co-ordinate the necessary IIBA Chapter start-up activities
- A minimum of 20 IIBA Members interested in forming the Membership of the new Chapter
Commitment:
- An estimated 5 - 10 hours per week is required once the start-up process has been completed
- The time commitment for the start-up process can be considerably more
- A core group of at least 3 IIBA Members, usually the Members coordinating the start-up, will form the Chapter’s initial Board of Directors
Process and Timeline for Starting an IIBA Chapter:
- Review the Chapter Start-Up Checklist
- Complete IIBA Chapter Start-Up Application
- Members will be notified if the Chapter Start-Up Application has been approved within 1-2 weeks of application date.
- For all approved applications, a member of the IIBA Chapter Team will be in touch with next steps
- The time it takes to bring an IIBA Chapter to charter status is usually 2-4 months from the date the Start-Up Application is approved; but it also depends on how quickly or slowly the members initiating the start-up would like to proceed
