Chapter & Section Meetings
Sections and chapters both participate in the larger, national, Annual Meeting by exhibiting at tabletops, holding special events, and by engaging meeting participants. Chapters and sections activities help bring awareness for the broader audience of ecologist to understand the specific realities of each sub-discipline or group of ecologists.
Chapters hold local meetings but usually convene based on region. While some chapters have meetings in their infancy, others, like the Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes Region and Southwest meeting, draw larger crowds and are better funded to enrich future meetings. For example, in 2025, the Mid-Atlantic chapter meeting was held at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. Read this press release for more details.
Section and Chapter awards are available to help fund travel or other expenses to either the national annual meeting or a regional one.
- Members of a section or chapter interested in hosting a meeting may email the meetings department to discuss available options.
