IANAL,  but since it would be a very limited agreement ("In the event

organization X is  given permission to .." - use the brand, user
account data, etc.) I don't  see why not. It would be not fundamentally
different from a trademark use  agreement.

If we want to reach an agreement like this with a chapter,  we should
carefully consider the impact of different jurisdictions on  the
projects, though. EU is a mess of jurisdictions, and the Germans  seem
to be quite litigious, for  example.
