Chapter Communities: A Flexible Tool to Keep Your Chapter Connected

Creating an online presence for your chapter doesn’t have to be complicated—or one-size-fits-all. Whether your chapter already has a website or you're just looking for a simple way to stay connected, AMPP’s Chapter Communities offer an easy, effective space to share updates, promote events, and engage with your members.

It can be a helpful supplement to your existing chapter website—or a great starting point if you're not ready for a full web presence.

What are chapter communities?

Every AMPP chapter has the option to set up a dedicated community space on the AMPP website. This space acts like a private, centralized hub where your members can connect, share, and participate in discussions—without the need to build or maintain a separate site.

It’s easy to use, quick to update, and best of all, it’s already built into the AMPP platform.

Why use AMPP communities?

Chapter Communities are ideal for:

• Sharing updates without needing web design skills
• Promoting events with flyers, discussion posts, and built-in payment links
• Encouraging conversations among members through a searchable discussion board
• Highlighting member achievements and celebrating wins

With tabs for Events, Discussions, Library, Members, and a customizable home area, it's a ready-made space to keep your chapter’s momentum going.

Already have a website? Communities still add value. 

If your chapter already has a website, Chapter Communities can complement it by:

• Serving as a more private, member-only discussion space
• Offering real-time engagement tools like threads and comments
• Acting as a secondary home for shared files, photos, or quick updates
• Giving members a space to connect without requiring a login to an external platform

For chapters looking to enhance connection and reduce tech overhead, it’s a powerful tool to have in your toolbox.

Thinking about starting a website? 

Not every chapter needs a full-featured website—especially when your focus is internal communication, not public outreach. If you’re just starting out or want to simplify your digital presence, a Chapter Community can meet most of your needs with much less setup time.

But if your chapter is planning to develop sponsorships, showcase your work publicly, or integrate forms, surveys, and multimedia, a full website might still be the way to go. Many chapters use both—a website for public engagement and a Chapter Community for internal connection.
