From event planning tips to engaging fellow members and fundraising for scholarships, this video highlights how our volunteers keep MSCI’s mission strong at the local level. We are also excited to share the updated MSCI Chapter Officers’ Manual. This refreshed resource was built with you in mind — packed with practical tips, best practices, and new tools to help you lead your chapter with confidence.
