Associate Members

The Board of Directors approved guidelines, procedures, and fees for new “members” on September 13, 2001, which allow for two new associates to be accepted per year. Associate members do not serve as board members of the organization, nor have any ownership equity in the organization, but do receive the same grant services as members.

Currently ARa has six associate members:

  • Elizabethtown
  • Town of Nashville
  • Brown County
  • Henry County
