Start a Chapter
Bring NACOPRW to Your Community
Starting a chapter is an opportunity to expand NACOPRW’s mission of leadership, service, advocacy, and cultural pride. Local chapters help connect Puerto Rican and Latina women, support community programs, host events, and create spaces for mentorship, empowerment, and civic engagement.
CHARTERING OF CHAPTERS:
The national board of directors shall charter chapters which submit an application in writing and comply with the following requisites:
1. Have at least ten (10) Puerto Rican women members who subscribe to the purposes of NACOPRW as stated in Article II.
2. Submit the initiation fee set by the Board
3. Provide a list of its proposed founding members, and its proposed bylaws.
After ascertaining that the proposed bylaws are not in conflict with these national Bylaws, the national board of directors shall issue the corresponding charter and install the new chapter at the next Board meeting. All chapters must be incorporated under their local jurisdictions and provide proof of their filing to the National Secretary.
