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.
