NHPGA - Membership

2008 NHPGA Membership Forms are on Their Way!
The 2008 membership forms are in the mail and on their way to the general membership! Please take a moment and complete yours by July 18, 2008.

This updated membership form is broken into several easy-to-follow sections. The first three sections will take you through the membership categories, classification and information. Please be sure to include the required information under company and individual details.

Section 5 allows you to become more than just a member! NHPGA currently offers four donation levels with which you can support programs ranging from the Horticultural Endowment Fund, Student Scholarships to the NHPGA General Operation Fund.

Section 6 will give you the opportunity to continue receiving the Plantsman for an additional fee. NHPGA will be starting to offer the Plantsman in a digital format starting July 2008 in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint. If you would still like to receive the Plantsman in hard copy, simply check the box!

And finally, section 7 gives you the opportunity to be more than just an NHPGA member. The organization is currently looking for volunteers help out in all areas. From advocacy to event planning, fundraising to contributing writers, NHPGA has what you are looking for!
