How do I become a member of SGM?

The easiest way to become a member is to attend an SGM meeting and talk to anyone who already is a member (feel free to ask). Or you can join by printing and filling out our membership form. There is a membership fee structure that varies for the number of people seeking membership and whether they're getting their newsletter on paper or electronically. Depending on the options selected, annual membership runs from $15 to $30, although this fee is waived for those who cannot afford it.

We ask for the normal contact information, but most items are optional and all information provided is held in strictest confidence by default. If you wish, you may opt to share your name, address, phone number, and/or e-mail address with other members via our contact list.

If you do not wish to attend a meeting, but would like to receive the newsletter, you may use our handy online newsletter request form. Keep in mind, however, that you do not have to be a member to attend SGM meetings!
