The SCMAA currently has several active county chapters throughout the state. Members who do not reside in a county with an active chapter may join a nearby county chapter, or join the state Alliance as a member-at-large and pay only state dues.
At the local level, each county chapter has its own leadership, dues, and meeting schedule. While many counties participate in SCMAA-sponsored initiatives, they often carry out their own flagship programming as well.
Alliance members find value in both the SCMAA and their local county chapter. SCMAA provides valuable support and resources, access to legislators and SCMA leadership, and sponsors statewide conferences that offer opportunities for leadership development, networking, and more. County chapters are an immediate source of connection, friendship, and support within your community.
Our membership year runs May through April. Meetings include the Fall Conference and an Annual Meeting and Installation during the spring. Newsletter communications are also sent twice each year.
Explore the active Alliance chapters in the list on the right, and contact us if you have information you would like added to your county page or if you are interested in launching a new chapter in your area.
