Virtual Chapters

It's our tradition to have members of each of our Chapters stand and be recognized at the Annual General Meeting. After I had done that at SIA 2008, it struck me that quite a few SIA members are not members of a local Chapter. In many cases, there isn't a Chapter in the area.

That shouldn't prevent folks from doing some of the things Chapters do, like organize tours, publish newsletters, and advocate for industrial heritage preservation.

So, let's organize a "Virtual Chapter" that anybody, anywhere can join. I've put up some place holder items on the knightsia.org forum If this takes off, it's easy to set up a more sophisticated mechanism.

We usually create a name for our Chapters, most often a local figure relevant to IA. Any suggestions?
