Chapter events are open to members and guests. Check the events calendar and introduce yourself — you do not have to wait for your membership to process.
Dues amounts are set by AGO National and change from year to year, so we point you to their current schedule rather than publishing a figure that may be out of date. If you would like the chapter to walk you through it, ask below.
