We will be using remind.com to send out announcements. It is essential that you sign up for this list. You may miss out on important events and information if you do not sign up. We will automatically send you an invitation (current AHSA members were sent an invitation on July 17, 2022), but you must accept it to receive the updates. There is a Remind app that you can download on your phone, but it will also email you even if you don’t have the app on your phone. If you did not receive an email on July 17, check your spam folder. If you are a new member joining after July 17, an email will be sent to you shortly after you are approved for membership. If your link doesn’t work, contact us for a Remind access code.
