When Chapters affiliate with the national, they are asked to be responsive to the developing relationship between the national and chapters by:

1. Informing the national office when there are changes in chapter officers or the contact person.
2. Putting (and keeping) the national office on the chapter mailing list so it receives chapter mailings of meetings and conference notices and information about becoming a member.
3. Assisting with fulfilling the requirement that the chapter officers be members of the national association.
4. Paying chapter dues  to the national association in a timely manner.
5. Answering requests for information from the national office (such as writing an article about the chapter for inclusion in an LERA Newsletter).
