SWMS Chapters
Our chapters are where the action happens at the local level! They organize their own outreach events, professional development and research opportunities, and more! Check out our blog for more on our chapter activities!
We have SWMS chapters all across the United States and internationally! You can contact each active chapter by clicking on their name below. If contact information is not available, please contact us at swms.general.contact@gmail.com, and we can put you in touch!
