Developing Chapters

Although very rewarding and gratifying, many of our ITNS members are aware it takes a bit of work to charter an ITNS Chapter!!  It only seems fit to acknowledge those ITNS members and their local committees who are currently working to charter new chapters in their areas!!  If you reside in one of these areas and either aren't involved or didn't know a chapter was being developed, please feel free to contact those listed below!!  If you are thinking of working toward the development of a local ITNS Chapter of your own, feel free to contact the ITNS Chapter Development Director, Mimi Funovits funovitsm@upmc.edu.
