Regional chapters are composed of members interested in promoting the society's purposes and objectives in a particular geographical area.
The annual (international) meeting has been a strong continuing thread in ISSS activities, but regional chapters have not been very active. (Perhaps this is the age of the Internet, where geography matters less!)
For more information on Chapters, consult the ISSS Bylaws, section 4.9 .
