Directory, a comprehensive index of the Association's membership

Downloaded in a compact, encrypted format, this Membership Directory

accessible, giving members instant access whether in the office or on
the road visiting clients. Members can choose to receive updated
information and revisions on a regular basis—meaning the Directory
is never 'out of print.' As an added bonus, members are able to write
and save notes within individual records, bookmark selected records, and
email another member directly from the Directory. If you've never
accessed the Membership Directory before, you'll want to download this
Guide.
It will provide you with helpful hints on how to download and navigate
