<br>
As an active member I watched the Founders and the Board of the
SFBay Area ISOC Chapter struggle for funding since 2008 to keep
our Chapter operational and active as did subsequent leadership me
included..so its been a long journey to get here for us and many
Chapters. Much to celebrate and appreciate :-)!<br>
<br>
Thank you to all who made this initiative a reality for ISOC
Chapters.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

The Chapter eligibility to get the funds and the

determined by the Chapter Evaluation Report. The
criteria that are used to evaluate the Chapter
are in line with the minimum criteria as
outlined in the Chapter Charter letter. In order
to provide you with your individual information,
the details about the funding and to validate
the data we have about your Chapter, <b>each of
your Chapter Development Managers will contact
you before the launch of the programme. </b>Failure
to provide information on time, may result in
unfavorable evaluations, and therefore a lower
