Chapter Affiliates

The Suzuki Association of the Americas offers the Chapter Affiliate Program to Suzuki organizations across North America who serve a specified, contiguous geographic area and strive to promote Suzuki through student activities, parent education, and teacher networking and education. Affiliation with the SAA provides increased communication, member involvement, and benefits at local, state, provincial, regional, and national levels.

Chapter Affiliate membership is achieved through a three-step process: application, public comment, and completion of the affiliation agreement. The SAA provides general support and consultation to Chapter Affiliates regarding business practices and educational programs. The SAA facilitates communication with other chapters and SAA members so that all can share successes, maintain consistency, and instill inspiration in others.
