Long story, short version: On July 1, 2022, the Southwest Region and its chapters (along with all others in CSI):
Are under new boundaries. The entire US will now fall within Chapter as well as Region boundaries. As a result, there will be no members without a Chapter affiliation.
Are under a new cost structure for annual renewal of individual member dues. Nationwide uniform dues of $100 for a single Primary Chapter will be included in Institute dues.
Members are able to participate in events of other Chapters and Regions either in person or virtually (as applicable). In effect, your membership in CSI is a national membership in all affiliates.
Members are assigned to their current Primary Chapter, or in some cases the Chapter assigned to the zip code in their membership address. Those who wish to change their Primary Chapter are able to do so.
·The 7 (fabulous) Chapters of the Southwest Region remain.
