Today there are over 230 Chapters throughout our 11 regions.   BIG members are diverse in backgrounds, interests and occupations.  There are executives, managers, supervisors, administrative assistants, secretaries, police officers, city managers, council members, state legislators as well as many rank and file government workers.
