Good Standing is a category that we give to our Chapters that are active and involved with our organization, meeting all the requirements set in our ByLaws.
Whether your chapter is in Good Standing or not makes a noticeable difference in the benefits you might be able to access as a chapter, and your overall experience in the AIAS.
