Joining DAMA

DAMA is organised into a number of chapters, found in many countries around the world.

To find your nearest chapter, look on the Chapter List, and follow the link to their website. If that doesn't help (maybe there isn't a chapter near you?) then we also have a Global Chapter which covers everyone who doesn't live near one of the geographically-based chapters.

If you don't have a local chapter, and would like to find out more about setting one up, then please contact the VP of Chapter Services for more information.
