  5. Check out TASCD at this link: http://tennessee.ascd.org TASCD is an example of an affiliate club. They pay dues at a local level which then sends money to ASCD. The purpose and membership characteristics are basically the same. They may have a local periodical publication. Since affiliate clubs are smaller, they may hold meetings or conferences of their own.
