Welcome to the Pacific Northwest Chapter! 

After careful consideration, the Pacific Northwest Chapter will be closing. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, networking, and professional growth that this chapter and its members have fostered over the years.

While the local chapter is closing, your membership and connection to the national SGMP community remain as important as ever. We want to ensure a smooth transition for you, and you are welcome to transfer your membership to any SGMP chapter across the country that best fits your professional needs.

Options for PNW Chapter Members:

Please take the next 30 days to decide how you would like to proceed with your chapter affiliation (deadline July 31, 2026):

• Select a New Chapter or Satellite Chapter: You are welcome to choose any active SGMP chapter or satellite chapter nationwide. Simply email our office with your preferred choice, and we will take care of the transfer for you.
• Transition to the At-Large Chapter: If you prefer not to choose a specific regional chapter, or if we do not hear from you within 30 days, you will automatically be placed into the At-Large Chapter. This ensures your membership remains active and you continue to receive all national SGMP benefits without interruption.

Thank you for your continued commitment to the government meetings industry and for being a valued part of the SGMP family. If you have any questions about this transition or need assistance selecting a new chapter, please do not hesitate to reach out.
