Affiliates provide members the opportunity to expand their professional development networks by connecting with other individuals by location. More than 35 state and provincial affiliates provide services and programs that connect staff developers within individual states or provinces or regions. Contact René Islas (
rene.islas@learningforward.org) if you're interested in facilitating a new affiliate within a state currently not served by a state chapter. This
