Membership Policy
Membership in the MNPS runs March 1 through February 28th of the following year. Memberships processed before the end of October will expire the following February 28th; those processed after October 31, expire February 28th of the year after.
Memberships are processed on a quarterly basis so you may experience a slight delay in membership recognition and benefits. We appreciate your patience with our all volunteer organization.
YOU may be the sparkplug who organizes a local chapter where one does not now exist. Ten paid members are required for a chapter to be eligible for acceptance in the MNPS.
Need to change your membership contact information?
Please let us know if your physical or email address for receiving MNPS correspondence or your telephone number has changed by notifying our membership chair, Maria Mantas by email or by sending a note to MNPS Membership, P.O. Box 8783, Missoula MT 59807-8783.
