NLGJA is a chapter-based organization with 19 chapters in the U.S. Our membership growth depends on active, relevant and vibrant chapters. It is at the local level that we carry out–on a day-to-day basis–our mission to foster fair and accurate coverage of LGBT issues. It’s also in the local chapters that networking, information sharing and just plain fun and friendship takes place.

Take a moment to connect with the chapter leadership in your area. There are board openings in several chapters. Let us know if you’re interested in supporting your local chapter by taking a role in chapter leadership.
