Of course it can legitimately represent only its members, while Jan-Bart suggests to claim that it somehow represents also non-members that don't mind participating in its discussions, by pretending they were invited to.
just a thought: if we substitute "represent" with "serve", we get much better results, no? While I am not entirely certain if all chapters require "representation" (frankly, it may probably make sense only in terms of relations with the WMF, I don't imagine, at least now, chapters from all over the world suddenly needing external representation), clearly all chapters need support.
