 Membership Goal

Strength by Number!!!

Our goal is to get our membership numbers up!  We would like to hit 75% membership.  So far, we are currently at 55%.  About half of our colleagues are NOT members; and that concerns us.  Our profession is a legislative profession... WE ARE ONLY AS STRONG AS OUR MEMBERS.

We are encouraging our current membership to bring a non-member colleague to join our society.  And as an incentive, for each non-member signed up for our society, the COA will provide a $50 Amazon.com gift card.  But more importantly, we will have another colleague joining our efforts, helping our proffesion, and building our future.

Our board members are more than happy to discuss the benefits of being an active member in the society. 

Feel free to email our Membership Chair, Dr. Thanh Nguyen,  if you have any questions.
