A request to become an “EAGE Local Chapter” requires petition of a minimum of 20 active EAGE members residing within appropriate distance of a central point.

A written request to be recognised as “Local EAGE Chapter” should be addressed by the representative of the Local Chapter to the Board of EAGE. Upon the reception of the official request, the Board has to decide within six months on the creation of a Local Chapter according to the general policy of the Association. Once approved and ratified the Representative of the Chapter and the Representative of the Board of EAGE will sign an official document of Affiliation with the EAGE. The Local Chapter can include a Student Section at any time. The Board of EAGE should be informed about this, but a specific approval is not required
