Membership

MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL 

NOTE TO ALL MEMBERS:  The Colorado Tree Coalition recently revised the way it handles membership renewals.  The membership renewal process is now on a “once per year” arrangement.  CTC members will now renew their annual memberships at the end of the calendar year to take effect for the following calendar year, rather than renewing throughout the calendar year as has happened in the past.  A once per year renewal process will increase the efficiency of the organization.  If you haven’t renewed your membership for 2008 yet, please consider submitting the form found at the back of this report with your dues for 2008 or go to www.coloradotrees.org and join/renew on-line.  Your willingness to remain a member of the Colorado Tree Coalition is vital! 

The CTC is making a difference because of the individuals, communities, businesses, and organizations who are members of the Colorado Tree Coalition (CTC).  It is because of their support and involvement that the CTC is able to fulfill its mission to lead Colorado's efforts to preserve, renew, and enhance community forests.  To join CTC or renew your membership complete the membership application found in the newsletter, or go to www.coloradotrees.org and join/renew on-line.  If we have any membership questions, contact Ralph Campbell at 303-438-6546.
