>>>Fantastic plan, but you're 20+ years too late.   There is already a 
chapter that covers the whole southeast of the USA, appropriately called 
"Southeast Panteras"

The POCA website has some contact info:

http://www.poca.com/index.php/club/chapters/south/southeast-panteras

Their website (sepanteras.com) seems to be defunct; it's possible that it 
died and a new one has risen and the POCA website hasn't been updated?   Dan 
Lewis (president) would be able to tell you.

Contact info is listed in the POCA newsletter, but the e-mail address 
listed there is very obviously incorrect.   There is no such thing as 
yahoo.comcom. :>)

Presuming his phone is correct, it's (863) 967-7738.   The e-mail I've used 
for him in the past is the one shown on the POCA website, 
dan.lewis57 at yahoo.com.   If that doesn't work, you could try using the one in the newsletter 
as a basis, dan.lewis at yahoo.com

Now, having said all that, although the existing club nominally covers the 
whole south, I'd agree that Southeast Panteras has almost exclusively 
focused on, and been populated by, members from Florida.   I suspect there is a 
larger unserved population north of Florida, and you would be well-positioned 
to create a chapter centered in Georgia, if those people are not already 
being served by Southeast Panteras.   I'd call Dan and talk with him about it?

If in fact there is enough interest in forming a new chapter, the process 
is fairly straightforward and POCA is always eager to help people who want to 
do it! :>)

     What is the process?
     If indeed, one does exists, REALLY, news to everybody!
     Please advise,
