The OBWA is now changing when our annual membership fee of $100 will be due. All members will have a renewal date of Sept. 1^st. each year for their annual membership.   The majority of our members have not paid their dues during the pandemic. Those members will need to renew their memberships starting January 1, 2022 for a pro-rated amount of $60. That will put the member in good standing from Jan.1, 2022 until June 30, 2022.  Then on Sept. 1, 2022 everyone will pay their membership dues which will cover their membership for Sept.1, 2022  until June 30, 2023.  Members have the privilege of posting on social media & have their information about their business and themselves on our website as well as posting on FB.. Non-members can attend meetings though without the other privileges.There is a drop down tab on our OBWA website to making paying your membership easy.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact one of our executive members.

OBWA Executive is in need of a Membership Co-ordinator for our group. If you are an OBWA member please consider putting a written application in for a nomination for that position before Jan. 31. We will take a vote at our February meeting and announce those who have put their names forward. Nominees need to be present at our February meeting so a member vote can take place. Nominees need to send an e-mail to our networking e-mail with their intentions be known.
