The western Massachusetts chapter of SfN existed previously, focused on the 5 Colleges in the Pioneer Valley, but became inactive. The chapter was reincorporated in 2015 (Link to Bylaws), and has recently been renamed the Central & Western MA Chapter to better reflect the community we engage and serve throughout central and western Massachusetts and the region at large.
Membership in the national organization, the Society for Neuroscience, is not required to join or participate in Chapter activities.
