Welcome to the SGMP Golden State Chapter!

Chartered in 1988 with 37 members, the Golden State Chapter is now the fourth largest in the organization’s 25+ chapters. Within the chapter’s active membership base of 70+, many hold industry accreditations including CMP, CHSP, CHME, CTP, and CGMP. In addition, we have several national award winners, and two (2) chapter members have held the title of National President.

While Education is our primary goal for our members, we also understand the importance of getting to know each other and building relationships, and of supporting our community by supporting local charity programs.

We give back to our members that work hard with and for the chapter by awarding scholarships to the Annual National Education Conference. We raise money for scholarships by having fundraising opportunities throughout the year. Our annual Holiday Brunch and Silent Auction is key to that success.

We are a chapter of hard-working volunteers, and are one of the best resources for government meeting professionals in the State. Come, join SGMP’s Golden State Chapter and take advantage of member benefits that include: training workshops; continuing education units; professional certifications; the organization’s own “Government Connections” Magazine, industry forums; scholarships; network of resources; web-based training; and much more.
