CampusOrganizing Starting an IA Chapter • See the effort as an opportunity to create a tighter “network of engagement” among campus and community partners. • Seek allies who can share projects and resources. • Different centers and departments contribute funds and staff time. • The effort is branded as an “IA Chapter.” • The chapter develops the campus work plan and advocates for it with the administration. • The chapter coordinates proposals for presentations at the national IA meeting.
