Annual Report Form
A new section can be created when there is no existing one nearby, when a current section becomes too large, or when a local group wishes to affiliate with ANS. The process begins with a petition and is ideal for professionals seeking more localized engagement and leadership opportunities.
Sections may need revitalization if they show signs like not filing annual reports, minimal events, poor attendance, or declining membership and officer participation. Download the Revitalization Guide to get started.
