Consider joining the MNIAI at the Conference, if you are not already a member. If your application is completed and submitted to the Secretary/Treasurer before the General Membership Meeting on the Thursday of the Conference, it will be reviewed by the Board during the meeting. Once accepted, the individual is made a member of the Division. Application fees are waived and so are the $30.00 dues for the first full year of membership. That's a $60.00 savings! Ask the Secretary/Treasurer for an application.​
