The best way for prospective individuals to begin their membership is by attending a General Membership Meeting (GMM) where members and guests are able to learn about what's happening in the organization and to network.  Prominent and influential guest-speakers are occasionally scheduled to provide information and inspiration for members to create projects.  New members also have the option of attending a New Membership Orientation.

Heavy refreshments are provided and anyone is welcome!  See our Events page for upcoming GMM dates.

WAIVERS

Individual requirements in any of the categories may be waived in place of meeting one or more waiver opportunities:

These are granted by the president or authorized designee.
