2009 ANNUAL ASSOCIATION DUES

2009 Annual Association Dues Invoices will be arriving at your offices early next week. The invoices are not due until January 30, 2009. However, notices are being mailed now to accommodate some of you that wanted to pay 2009 memberships before the end of this calendar year. A “membership information update” form will be included with the invoice. Please complete, then fax or email back to the Chapter Office as soon as possible. This information will be used in the 2009 Membership Directory.

The Chapter will be printing the Directory in 2009. The Directory will include all members paid current as of March 1, 2009. The information for each member firm will be taken from the “membership information update” form included with the 2009 dues invoice. Please complete the form and return to the Chapter office early in January so your listing and other information will be correct. The Directory and any updates during the year will still be available in the member’s only section of the website. An edited version of the directory will still be available to all from the home page of the Chapter website. The home page version lists the company name, address, main phone number and a link to company website.
