MCGT Chapters and Parent Groups
Creating Connections
MCGT connects those interested in learning about, and advocating for, gifted students and their families. There are currently two ways to organize to create impact, both of which are supported by MCGT.
Chapters
An MCGT chapter is made up of MCGT members, organized by district, region, or other affinity or issue. An MCGT chapter has a formal structure, including officers, and collects a portion of each member’s MCGT membership fee that can fund chapter events, teacher scholarships, sponsorships, or any other use approved by the chapter. Chapters also receive support from the MCGT office, including event logistics and promotions, help with managing financials, and other assistance.
Parent Groups
MCGT chapters begin as parent groups. A parent group does not have a formal structure, includes both MCGT and non-MCGT members, and acts as a support group for like-minded parents. Not all parent groups become official chapters, and MCGT is committed to supporting parent groups with advice, event and gathering promotion, and other assistance.
