How to Form a Chapter
First, find three friends who are student members of the Society For Biomaterials and one faculty member who is an Active member of the Society.
Then, write up a constitution which agrees with the National Student Section's objectives; a fill in the blank version is available below.
Next, elect or appoint officers according to your constitution and bylaws.
Finally, send a list of your officers, members, and faculty advisor along with a copy of your constitution and bylaws to the Society For Biomaterials Headquarters office info@biomaterials.org for approval by the Student Section Bylaws Chair. Following approval, the chapter will be recognized as active and will be listed on the SFB website on the following page: https://www.biomaterials.org/students-national-student-chapter/current-s...
