The current requirements to become an ABANA Chapter are:

1. Identify at least 5 current ABANA Members who are in the group.
2. List your group members(name, address, phone) on a roster with ABANA
members noted.
3. Pick a name and list it as you would like it to appear on the ABANA
Chapter listing.
4. Elect and list your group's officers, i.e. President, 1st Vicepresident,
Secretary, Treasurer and Newsletter Editor if you have one.
5. Draw up a set of By-Laws and send copy to the ABANA Office.

After you have this, send a letter petitioning for chapter status.

Contact the ABANA Office at PO Box 206, Washington, Mo 63090, 314-390-2133
or Compuserve 72603,3540.
John Pollins, III, is Committee Chairman. [email-masked]

We highly recommend incorporation as a non profit organization and getting
your status approved by the IRS.
