Steps to starting a chapter:

1. Become a CNSA/NSNA member (Membership information is online at NSNA.org).
2. Print the NSNA Application and spread the word on your campus, get 10 members from your campus.
3. Get a faculty advisor (someone energetic, fun, and knowledgeable).
4. Obtain the “Getting The Pieces To Fit” manual from NSNA.
5. Work out the details with your new advisor and organization.
6. Contact your campus student association for details about becoming an official campus club.
7. Visit other organizations both on campus and other chapters of CNSA to see how they have done things (many of them will be more than willing to offer advice or even plans and paper work that they used to get started).
8. Contact CNSA through your Council of Chapter Representatives Co-Chair:
