Why We Need You

Membership growth is important to The Kentucky Society of Natural History because:

• Membership dues are one of the key revenue streams that support our Society.

• We need to offer opportunities for people to be involved, which fulfills one of the key visions of  the Kentucky Society of Natural History.

• We need manpower to accomplish our objectives.

• Growth is always needed each year to replace members who do not renew.

• New faces are always healthy for an organization:  new ideas, new energy.
