How I can be a member?
Membership is as simple as meeting with the Regional Co-Ordinator
over a coffee about ACRATH and what we do.
We invite you to attend a couple of meetings to meet our other members, and if you decide you would like to join, a more formal nomination/acceptance process is carried out.
ACRATH values new members and encourages them to get involved in activities and projects. They are encouraged to select ones that interest them and match their skill or their current/former occupation.
