Attention Unit Membership Chairs
The department has been receiving an abundance of incomplete membership applications! When we receive incomplete applications, they are mailed back to the membership chair with a credit memo requesting that the COMPLETED application, new transmittal form, and copy of the credit memo be sent back to the Department. This causes significant delays, extra time for Department staff, and extra expense.
Please see the Application Instruction Sheet provided. CLICK HERE.
The department reserves the right to mail back your entire membership submission if all parts are not complete and correct.
