MSOG is made up of chapters throughout Massachusetts—Bristol, Merrimack Valley, Middlesex, and Worcester—each with its own governing board of officers, annual meeting, and election. Each chapter holds monthly meetings, often combining in-person and online attendance, that feature a range of speakers and conversations on topics of interest to our members. MSOG members are invited to attend all meetings, regardless of chapter affiliation.
