What Are Chapters?

ACR Chapters are regional affiliates of the Association for Conflict Resolution

I Am Already an ACR Member. Why Should I Join a Chapter?

Chapters add to the ACR membership experience by providing face-to-face interaction with members of the field who live in your area.  Members of ACR Chapters fill a vital role in sharing common concerns, forging alliances and developing joint strategies to promote and strengthen the field of conflict resolution locally.  Being a member of a Chapter allows you to build networking relationships, share ideas, experiences, and challenges and collaborate on issues of mutual interest.

ACR currently has 21 regional Chapters, servicing various cities, metro areas, states and districts.  Find out more information about the Chapter(s) in your area by clicking one of the links below.
