I fully accept responsibility for any miscommunication or lack of communication that you have all experienced in the past. While I fail at perfection often, it doesn’t stop me from striving to reach it. The board of directors of the Human Services Division recently had a meeting, and better communication through this list was one of the topics of discussion. Once we have cleared Convention, engagement will be our top priority. The community that we are all a part of means a great deal to me. I hope that you will join with us in making our community the best that it can be. I believe that people are all capable of growth and change. I think that applies to this division as well as the members that it encompasses. I invite you to fully engage in productive communication as we move forward.

As such, it is taking some navigating to get the electronic method for taking dues up and running. I anticipate it will be resolved no later than Tuesday, July 7th.Once this is resolved we will attach a link and you will be able to complete the registration form and pay dues.

While you can attend without paying dues, you may not become a member. Paying the $5 registration fee will cover membership for a year; this is the same fee for new or returning members.
