Your Responsibilities as a Member

Pay your annual investment (dues) promptly. This helps by ensuring you continue to receive your benefits, and helps every member in the organization because the financial base is there to provide the programs. Join a committee, a program, or project that interests you. Provide us with feedback, such as responding to our surveys or offer us suggestions on how to do better. Ask us if you have a question about what we're doing or why we're doing something (or why we're not). Let us know when you have concerns or suggestions, or if things are great and you want to thank us. Attend events when you can; or, if unable, maybe you can support them in other ways.
