There are several important prerequisites for the start of a successful TiE chapter in a city or geographical area where significant entrepreneurial activities exist. Each new TiE Chapter undergoes a rigorous planning process to ensure that it is built on a sustainable foundation. The process can take 10 months to 18 months to complete thoroughly. The process to start a chapter in your local community is outlined below: - Establish a core group of 15 Charter Members
- Hire an Executive Director (ED) to execute operational tasks
- Submit a set of required documents for approval:
a. Chapter Launch report
b. Annual plan including budget, hiring plan, events calendar and sponsorship plan
c. Local registration certificate as a non-profit
d. Signed affiliation agreement with TiE Global
e. Chapter ByLaws - Review and approval by CEO, CSDG team and Governance Committee
- Final approval on the chapter made by TiE Global Board of Trustees
- Upon approval by the TiE Global Board of Trustees, an official launch event attended by at least one member from TiE Global Board of Trustees (subject to availability) to officially inaugurate the Chapter within 6 weeks of the approval.
