What's New From The State?

Be aware of the changes to the membership enrollment which is now for the calendar year. We now have not only an online membership enrollment but this year an online registration for the state conference. Completing the process is very user friendly and payment is easy also. Both of these processes make it easier to update data connected to both.

What's New From The Zones?

Check which zone you would belong to by the zone map. If your zone is not active and you would like help activating it contact one of the state officers or the membership chairperson. You can attend functions of a nearby zone.

Check our Facebook page for other information or to post your own information or query.
