Thank you for considering becoming a Tropicana Community Services Organization Member.
What is a member?
Members, are a group of individuals who take on the responsibility of electing board members and voting on changes to the organization’s bylaws and other matters of importance at the AGM and special meetings called by the board. Companies and organizations cannot become members, only individuals can become members.
Membership offers you the opportunity to:
- Support the community
- Gain new experiences
- Build connections (both personal and work networks)
- Find purpose by giving back
Members are essential to running our organization. Members help Tropicana stay focused on its goals and purpose by voting on important matters. Participation is done by attending member meetings and joining committees that make the decisions and provide guidance for the organization’s growth and development.
