Where do we go from here
I will furnish a copy of the National Roster
You already have your post roster
Compare the two rosters. You are only concerned with 2015 and life members. Don’t get bogged down on any member prior to 2015
Develop a list of anyone that is not on all two rosters making a notation of which rosters they are on
Check the Post reporting records to ensure you have backup information on any member on the post list that is not on National
Forward a copy of your final list to Bobbie McRoberts, Asst. Membership Processor
Let’s work together to get our membership rosters corrected
