Bring the club to your city
Club members are in 40+ cities across 15 countries. Chapters turn those dots on the map into rooms of people building GRC engineering together. Lead the one in your city.
What Chapters Get
This is not a logo license and a Slack channel. The Club puts real resources behind every official chapter.
A Claude license for your chapter
The Club commits a Claude license to every chapter, so your meetings can be build sessions, not just meetups. Automate evidence, ship tools, demo real GRC engineering.
$500/year event budget
Every chapter gets $500 a year for its annual general meeting - the one required event. Venue, food, whatever makes your city show up.
Your city on the map
Chapter growth decides where the Club holds in-person events next year. Grow your chapter and the anticheckbox tour comes to you.
Build your own leadership team
Start with a President and VP, then build out the team as you grow: events lead, content lead, whatever your chapter needs.
What It Takes
The bar is deliberately low on logistics and deliberately high on showing up.
- A President and a Vice President - two people, from day one
- At least one meeting per quarter
- One annual general meeting per year (the $500 budget covers it)
- Your chapter becomes official at 20 members
How It Works
From application to official chapter, one step at a time.
Step 1
Apply
The form below takes five minutes. Tell us your city and why it needs a chapter. You can apply solo - the VP can come later.
Step 2
We reply within a week
Every application gets a human read. You hear back from hello@grcengclub.com either way.
Step 3
Recruit your VP and first members
We connect you with club members already in your metro and announce your chapter to the community.
Step 4
Hold your first meeting
Coffee shop, office space, someone’s living room. One meeting a quarter is the bar; most chapters do more.
Step 5
Hit 20 members and go official
At 20 members your chapter is official: Claude license, $500 annual budget, a page on this site, and a say in where next year’s in-person events happen.
