| So,
you get together with several of your loadmaster friends, talk about
the Professional Loadmaster Association, and someone asks, "Hey,
why don't we start a Chapter?" Someone else replies, "Great
idea, but where do we start?" Well, you have already made a great
start! This page, with links, will help you follow through with starting
a local Chapter.
First, there are some ground rules. You must have a minimum of 20 PLA members to start a chapter. You need a core group willing to "take the bull by the horns" and provide the leadership to make it happen. Do not get a bank account until you get your Charter (constitution) from national. This is normally presented by the president or one of the Vice-Presidents at a dinner. Use the links provided and remember to advertise in local and base papers to help spread the word. Also, use flyers for in squadrons! GOOD LUCK! |

Use
the following samples/guides for help. This should help get you
started. Your base might have some different "twists"
for on-base organizations but I'm sure you will overcome obstacles.
Good luck and call/email if any troubles! |
