Both active and associate members are eligible to sit on the central board of directors and enjoy full benefits and discounts offered by the state organization.
Active membership is accorded those writers whose work is in print and meets some minimum criteria. There are no limits to the number of active members in any branch.
Writers who are not yet published, but can show work in progress, may be given associate membership. In any branch, the number of associate members must not exceed active.
Supporting membership is for people who are interested in the writing craft, do not meet the qualifications for active membership, and the ratio of active to associate members in the club is such that our branch cannot accept a new associate members.
