Chapter Locations
The above map shows the general coverage areas of our chapters. Naturally, you can cross county lines to join a chapter and attend meetings.
At Large Members
In addition to IMA members who are affiliated with chapters, are a significant number of "At Large" members who have not joined a chapter. We encourage those members to join a chapter to experience the cameraderie, leadership opportunities, and educational programs of the local chapters.
