Membership Update
At the 2016 NYSAVSA Annual Meeting, the membership voted to accept a revised organizational structure. In doing so, the association has shifted from a chapter-originated membership model to a state-originated membership model.
Here is what this means:
If your chapter has maintained its affiliation with the State, your membership in NYSAVSA is automatic and dues are paid by your Chapter.
If you do not belong to a chapter, or your chapter is not a NYSAVSA affiliate you will need to renew your membership independently, either through your organization or personally.
The NYSAVSA Membership Fee is $30.
Thank you all for your continuing membership in NYSAVSA! We appreciate your support, and we also value your input on what else we can do to add value to your membership experience. Please reach out to any member of the NYSAVSA Board of Directors to share your ideas, offer valuable input and for us to help meet your needs.
Wishing you all the best in 2017,
Jeanne Carangelo, NYSAVSA President
