To give a clearer picture of how chapters are developing, we’ve introduced a new classification system based on age and activity:
- Established — for DiGRA chapters founded more than 5 years ago and/or with more than 50 members.
- Emerging — for DiGRA chapters founded 4 years, 11 months or less ago and/or with fewer than 50 members.
- Inactive — for chapters that have not responded to the most recent chapter census.
You can see the status of the current chapters below. If you think a chapter status is incorrect, contact the chapter officer Iris Kleinecke-Bates.
