==Article Transcript==
[[File:EFSpring2015_Page_22.jpg|266px|thumb|right|Page 1 of the article]]
If you are an ISCA member who knows and/or works with a number of caricaturists,
or if you would simply like to “spread the word” in your area about ISCA and the art
of caricature, then please consider starting a local Chapter!

==How to Start a Chapter==
First, gather up your friends and
colleagues, and hold a get-together
of some sort. Nothing fancy...just an
informal meeting. Be sure to bring
with you some copies of the most
recent EFs, along with any convention
photos or drawings you might have.
If you have Internet access, you may
want to pull up our website.
Talk to the group about what ISCA is,
and what being part of it has meant
to you (the impact it’s had on your
life, your career, or your artwork). Tell
them about our conventions, and how
much fun they are to attend. Be sure
to mention the vast potential for making
new friends, meeting other artists
from different parts of the world, and
sharing trade tips, tools, and techniques.
Once you’ve met with your
fellow artists and introduced them to
ISCA, you will then be able to gauge
the level of interest in joining the
organization. You can then mention
the idea of forming a chapter, and see
who might be interested in helping
to run things. Once you have at least
three or four people willing to serve
as board members, and a head count
of potential members, please contact
any ISCA Board Member and let them
know you would like to form a new
chapter!

==Requirements==
Each chapter should choose its own
name. The name should reflect the city,
state, country, or region encompassed by
the chapter. All members of each chapter
must first be dues-paying members of the
ISCA in good standing and must live in
the designated region.
Each chapter shall be responsible for
electing its own board members and
conducting its own affairs.
Though a minimum of three members
is required to form a chapter, there is no
limit to the number of people who can
make up a chapter.
Each chapter should elect its own officers,
hold its own meetings, and manage its
own funds and affairs.
Any events held by each chapter, such as
a mini-con or fundraiser, will be fully sanctioned
by ISCA, and as such, use of the
ISCA logo on all promotional materials
is permitted and encouraged. Mini-cons
should first be approved by the board.
In order for a chapter to maintain its ACTIVE
standing, the acting chapter president
must notify the ISCA board of their
chapter status every year by November
30th. If ISCA is not notified, the chapter
will be dissolved.

==Benefits==
ISCA will make every effort to assist
each chapter with holding a minicon
or recruiting new members by providing
the following benefits:
(1) A “WELCOME” CERTIFICATE
with all of the ISCA Board Members’
signatures on it. The formation of the
chapter will be announced on the
forum, on ISCA’s Facebook page,
and in EF.
(2) The use of the ISCA LOGO on
banners, fliers, T-shirts, and other
promotional materials and merchandise.
(3) A document detailing the HISTORY
of ISCA, which includes the
names of past Presidents and past
Guest Speakers. This document will
serve as a written introduction to new
members, providing information about
the organization’s growth (from about
20 members to over 500) since 1992,
and citing the BENEFITS (networking,
friendship, prestige, Annual Convention,
awards, etc.) of joining ISCA.
The board members are currently
making an effort to translate this document
into several languages for the
ease of reading and understanding.
(4) Recruiting materials (like back-issues
of EF, old convention T-shirts,
and ISCA pins) will be provided
by the ISCA Board Members to
SUPPORT the new chapter in all its
endeavors.
Please note: the benefits outlined
above apply to all existing Chapters,
as well as new ones.
The ISCA Board Members encourage
the formation of various chapters
throughout the world, not just as a
recruiting venue, but also to “spread
the good word” about the art & business
of caricature, and to create unity
and goodwill among the artists who practice it.
