"Many senior professionals feel grateful for all of the collaborations and
opportunities for growth that the ASA facilitated and feel the need to give back to the
society by taking leadership positions in their respective chapters. Others want to become mentors of future acousticians such as students and junior professionals.

Local acoustics businesses benefit from the regional chapters because each meeting is an opportunity to market their services and products in the form of vendor displays, advertisements, and as invited speakers. A major benefit is exposure to potential customers…
Students can also take leadership positions to grow into their professional life, they benefit by adding their professional involvement to their job resumes and by establishing relationships with professionals that can serve as references and direct them to acoustics positions in companies, government, and academia...": Dr. Juan I. Arvelo, Jr., Elizabeth A. McLaughlin, co-chairs, Committee on Regional Chapters, "ASA Regional Chapters: a bounty of opportunities" (PDF), Acoustics Today, 2003.
