Interested in Starting a Local Affiliate Group?

AAGT encourages parents, teachers, coordinators, and anyone concerned about the needs of gifted children to organize and become an AAGT Affiliate Chapter. The stronger our network, the better our ability to improve the quality of programs and services for gifted and talented children throughout the state. AAGT is part of the larger chain of state gifted associations that affiliate with NAGC, the National Association for Gifted Children. By creating an affiliate chapter of AAGT, you also become part of the national network of advocates for gifted and talented children.
