Create a Petition to Form a Local UPA Chapter
Forming a Local Chapter > Create a Petition
The petition to form a Local UPA Chapter has to be signed by at least
ten current UPA members requesting to be recognized as a local Chapter
of UPA. All officers have to be members of UPA at the time of signing.
Chapter members must also be UPA members. So for those who
attend the meeting, but are not yet current UPA members, get them to sign
up as UPA members as soon as possible. Other potential chapter members
should become UPA members as soon as possible. You could even take
some membership applications to the constituting meeting.
The petition should also include suggested Chapter name, Chapter boundaries and interim Chapter officers. The list of officers shall include a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, or a Secretary/Treasurer, and additional officers as approved by the Chapter.
