> Dear Chapter Presidents:
> 
> Greetings! Please read this important message regarding Membership!
> 
> It is necessary for the continued growth of the Federation to streamline data collection in order to make communication and interaction with our members easier. For some time, we have been working on centralizing membership information into the organization’s Connections database. Our national office can better serve your chapter and affiliate if we have accurate data about the members of the Federation at the local level. Thus, it is of great importance that you, as a chapter president, collect information from your current members who have paid dues for the current year.
> 
> It is very important that you get your spreadsheet into your affiliate president ASAP! The new membership coins will be distributed based on the membership lists received by chapter within each affiliate.
> 
> Three separate teleconferences for chapter presidents will be held to discuss and answer questions regarding our efforts for data collection and the new member onboarding process. The first is scheduled for February 15 at 6:30 p.m. eastern; the second for February 17, at 3:30 p.m. eastern; and the third for February 21 at 8:00 p.m. eastern. You are not required to attend all three calls. However, it is strongly encouraged for you to attend one of the three.
> 
> The call-in information is below. Please remember to *6 in order to mute yourself. Please make sure to do so when you join the call. We want to make sure that everyone can hear the presentation. We will open the floor for questions towards the end of the call and will let everyone know to unmute when asking a question. Also, please remember to call for the floor by announcing your name and then wait to be recognized before proceeding.
