Members Benefit - Reminder
|
Don't forget that one of the benefits of being a member of our chapter is that each month you have the opportunity to attend a fantastic educational session with a great lunch for only $20. Our chapter underwrites the luncheons so you don't pay the full cost.
If you are not a member or you have let your membership lapse the price is $35. If you bring a guest - and we hope you do! - their price is also $35.
If yo u need to renew your membership, it's quick and easy to do online at www.afpnet.org: Go to "Join AFP" on the left side and under that you will see "Renew Membership"
You can also find helpful information here.
If you have any questions about AFP or your members benefits, you can reach Kristie Gibson, Director of Retention, at (817)922-7714 or by email.
