On June 1 of each year, the State Affiliate will forward to AFSA National a list of their contractor members so that the percentages can be verified. AFSA will encourage its members to join the local state association. If the Affiliated State Association has a significant increase in AFSA contractor members, the ratio can be adjusted upward upon request and verification by the Affiliated State Association. The Affiliated State Association must meet a minimum of 4 times per year and forward meeting notices, meeting minutes and sign in sheets to AFSA within one month of the meeting. The Affiliated State Association can participate in the Chapter Grant program.
Chapters can request as many grants as they wish.
The Chapter Grant committee will approve or deny each request on its own merit. The chapter must match dollar for dollar the amount requested. State affiliates will be eligible for grant money at a percentage of how many of their contractors are AFSA members. Implementation will be Jan. 1,2000. Affiliated State Associations are entitled to a complimentary web page on the AFSA Sprinkler Net and complimentary copies of Sprinkler Age.
