With more than a dozen individual chapters across the United States and Canada, ARCE’s mission of fostering a broader knowledge and appreciation of Egypt’s cultural heritage among the general public is constantly advanced by active local communities. ARCE Chapters provide a forum for members to benefit from the abundant educational and cultural resources related to Egypt in their local area. Collectively, ARCE Chapters host over 100 lectures per year by experts in topics spanning the full timeline of Egyptian history. These lectures, as well as affiliation with a chapter, are complimentary to all ARCE members. Joining an ARCE Chapter provides members opportunities to share ideas, discoveries and questions about Egypt with one another and offers a learning environment for anyone interested in Egyptian cultural heritage.

Chapters also offer support to students of Egyptology and related fields. At the ARCE Annual Meeting, chapters host the Chapter Council Fundraiser to raise money to cover several student awards given at the meeting. In addition, some chapters have scholarship opportunities that help to cover the cost of student attendance and participation at the Annual Meeting.

Becoming a Chapter Guidelines

Start an ARCE Chapter:

Chapters are located in a variety of cities and geographical areas. We welcome interest in starting new chapters in cities where there is no ARCE presence. Chapters are separate 501(c)3 organizations that receive support from ARCE through membership rebates and an annual grant to cover meeting and lecture expenses.

For more information about how to start a new Chapter, please contact chapters@arce.org

ARCE does not, in any way, require that its speakers, presenters, members, or staff agree to participate in interviews, stories, or additional media and/or pictures.  However, due to the nature of our programs and efforts, speakers, presenters, members, or staff may be asked to participate in recorded interviews, news stories, or events where the media may be present and, in some cases, for educational and publicity purposes on YouTube, social media, and/or websites. By signing this document, speakers, presenters, members, or staff grant permission for ARCE to use interviews, stories, or additional media and/or pictures for the sole purpose of ARCE’s promotion and goodwill.

To ensure the privacy of individuals, images will not be identified using full names or personal identifying information without written approval from the photographed subject.

A person attending an ARCE event who does not wish to have their image recorded for distribution should make their wishes known to the photographer and the event organizers or contact ARCE at info@arce.org in writing, and include the photograph. ARCE will use the photo for identification purposes and will hold it in confidence. By participating in an ARCE event or by failing to notify ARCE in writing of your desire not to have your photograph used by ARCE, you are agreeing to release, defend, hold harmless, and indemnify ARCE from any and all claims involving the use of your picture or likeness.

Any person or organization not affiliated with ARCE may not use, copy, alter, or modify ARCE photographs, graphics, videography, or other similar reproductions and recordings without the advance written permission of an authorized representative from ARCE.
