Chapter membership is a feature of APIC membership.

The State of Maine chapter is called the Pine Tree Chapter and our chapter number is 126. There is an additional fee to join the local chapter. However, the networking and support you will gain with our chapter well worth the financial investment. Other benefits of joining a local chapter include educational opportunities, mentorship, and the opportunity to advocate for infection prevention issues.
