chapter meetings
Branch member assemblies
Chapter meetings are regular gatherings of a local branch of a larger organization—a fraternity chapter, a nonprofit's regional group, or a professional association's local arm.
The term emphasizes both the routine nature of the meetings and their place within a hierarchical structure: Chapter meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month.
Members discuss business, plan events, and maintain group cohesion.
