Membership

Benefits of Membership

Membership in the state association shows your support for VMGA as your voice to the VCE-MG program leadership at Virginia Cooperative Extension and Virginia Tech. Members receive timely distribution of our newsletter, The VMGA Report, providing information about association business and news of local unit and association happenings around the state. VMGA members also receive discounted registration fees at VMGA education events. A Membership Directory is provided to facilitate networking among members.

The Membership Committee

VMGA’s Membership Committee is tasked with maintaining reliable contact information for each member – not an easy task in this day of changing email addresses! Committee chairs rely on the Membership Chair for names of members who have expressed an interest in committee work. The Chair prepares mailing lists and information for the Membership Directory and manages the membership application and renewal processes annually.

Join us! New members and renewing members have the option of submitting an online Membership Application and paying online see below; or by mailing a check (made payable to “VMGA, Inc.) and a completed application form to the Membership Chair (Tonya Harper, VMGA Membership Chair, 67 Misty Hills Ln., Troutville, VA 24175). Renewing members submit a Membership Application to ensure current choices for participation and contact information. Life Members are asked to keep VMGA informed of any changes in contact information by emailing the Membership Chair. Questions? Contact the Membership Chair!
