This message was originally sent by Christine Willis, SC/MLA Chair;  she is also a GHSLA member.  The Executive Board, supports her statement below.:

Once again, the GHSLA membership fees have been waived for 2024.  If you completed a membership registration form last year, no need to fill one out again.  If you have colleagues who would like to take advantage of this year’s free membership, ask them to register.
