Chapters and Regions

AAIDD Chapters and Regions promote the mission and interests of the Association and make unique contributions that align with the overall goals of the Association. In addition to leadership opportunities, AAIDD Chapters and Regions tend to focus on providing important professional education that respond to the needs of their geographic area.

The number and location of Chapters and Regions has varied across the Association's history. Based on where they live in North America, members of AAIDD automatically become members of the relevant active Chapter or Region.
