At its core, ChIPs is a community

Chapters connect, mobilize and inspire our growing community of professional and student members across the United States and Europe. Run at the local level by a group of community leaders, Chapters host a variety of programs and events for members throughout the year.

Chapters are open to all ChIPs members. Connect with women in your local area by attending chapter activities. You’ll be inspired by the speakers, motivated by your fellow members, and educated by leading experts.

If you are interested in launching a new ChIPs Chapter please submit a New Chapter Application.
