ACAMS’ Chapter Development Program aims to focus the association’s international efforts in anti-money laundering education and training at a regional level. Chapters provide local forums to facilitate discussion, offer education targeting area specific issues and foster professional networking among ACAMS members.
The purpose of ACAMS chapters and their officers is to ensure that the association’s mission and goals are implemented. Leading chapter officers are primarily responsible for envisioning and implementing a program that stresses anti-money laundering education. They ensure that adequate networking opportunities exist to encourage the exchange of ideas and create new relationships.
ACAMS’ Chapter Executive Board and its international headquarters and staff are committed to fully supporting ACAMS chapters. Such a relationship requires constant communication between both parties and strong leadership at the local level.
Any ACAMS member within a given region may initiate the process of incorporating a chapter. If you are interested in establishing a chapter in your area, please review the General Criteria for Establishing Chapters section of the Chapter Handbook.
