Brian, It sounds to me like you're getting close to qualifying as a chapter. I think you need a minimum of 3 RPTs and a total of 6 members, including Associates (and ICs, I presume), but I would have to check the bylaws. If you could get a couple more to join up, I bet the Guild could send a CTE out there to do some exams and get you a couple more RPTs. You might want to check with the home office, and I bet the International Relations Committee could help out, too. That could be the start of making the Guild truly international. I'd be willing to save up for a conference in South Africa! Paul Larudee Brian Lawson wrote: > Hi, there is already another RPT who is a Boston Chapter member, he lives > down in Cape Town.
