Introduction to Student Chapters

ACI has over 200 student chapters around the world. Get involved to develop leadership skills, increase concrete knowledge, and networking camaraderie!

Here are the steps to form a new Student Chapter:

Organizing Petition – An organizing petition signed by at least 15 ACI Student Members. ACI Student Membership is FREE for undergraduates and graduates. Click here for the organizing petition.

Bylaws – The proposed student chapter will need to submit a draft of their bylaws. Click here for an example of model bylaws.

Sponsorship – A letter from the local professional chapter (if applicable) acknowledging it will mentor the student chapter. Click Chapter Listing to find the local chapter in your area.

Advisor – The student chapter will need an advisor. The advisor will need to be a member of the local professional chapter and the ACI Faculty Network. If the advisor is an instructor and has never been a member of ACI, we will provide a FREE one-year ACI membership. Click Join the Faculty Network.

Submit your completed application included the organizing petition, bylaws and sponsorship letter to John Conn, Director of Chapter Activities.
