AHF Chapters

AHF Comes Closer to Home

AHF chapters are amazing! We have vibrant and distinct chapters all around the United States. AHF chapters bring members together closer to home and provide much-needed networking, professional development, support, and long-lasting friendships.  

Chapters are the AHF’s ear-to-the ground, advising the national organization on upcoming trends, industry concerns, and how to provide relevant resources. Each chapter also serves as a pathway to national events, programs, membership, and leadership. 

Below is the list of our chapters, the regions they serve, and the contact information for the local chapters’ leadership.
