Regional Associations
The NYS Maple Producers’ Association, Inc. has seven member regional associations that divide NYS geographically. If you are a member of the state association, you are automatically a member of one of the seven regions. Unless you specify that you want membership with a different region, your region is determined by the county of your mailing address as shown in the table below. If you prefer to have a different “home region” you just need to notify one of the officers of the state association.
The seven regions have their own executive officers, hold meetings in the regional area, and elect delegates to the state association board. This delegate board sets the policies for the state association. The regions all are independent entities with their own bylaws and treasuries.
