When a Pen Woman meets someone who may be interested in growing within a like-minded, artistic organization, we’re always excited to extend the invitation.

​

Membership Process:

·       Prospective members are invited to attend a meeting with our members and get a feel for our branch.

·       If interested in moving forward, an Applicant presents samples of her work and fills out a Membership Application with the help of her sponsor or the Membership Chair.

·       If approved by the branch members, the branch President or Membership Chair will email your application to the appropriate National Credentials Officer for final approval. 

·       Throughout the process, prospective members are welcome to continue attending meetings and events to further experience the community.

 

Associate Membership

If an applicant meets all the criteria except for proof of payment for their work, they may apply for Associate Membership. Associate members can participate in all events but do not have voting privileges.
