Regional Chapters

Please consider to open a regional chapter of SEMAT of your country!

Please remember opening a new SEMAT Chapter takes time, interaction and effort by a group of committed people. SEMAT presently allows maximum of a chapter per country.

Application for opening a new Chapter should be made to Executive Committee (Please address your proposal via email to the President of the Exec Committee).

Presently SEMAT is looking for maximum one Chapter from Each Country.

The proposed chapter must have at least few committed individuals and support SEMAT in general.

Some of them may be identified to represent the proposed chapter as the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary etc or similar construction as per the law of the land. They should propose some activities and vision.

It is expected that the members:

  • should reside in the same geographic location as the Chapter.
  • should be committed and engaged volunteers, as members of a the proposed chapter from the proposed territory
  • Should be aware of SEMAT activities and other existing Chapters.

Each Chapter is financially autonomous.
