The life member receives all benefits according to the bylaws of the chapter joined and has equal voting rights with the other members. The life member is also entitled to: attend chapter meetings; receive a free subscription to PN; receive chapter publication; receive bulletins from the National Office; and hold office at the chapter and national levels. Please note that in order to hold office at the chapter or national level the life member must receive certification from PVA’s National Secretary.
