Growing opportunities for professionals and students

• What is the timeline for this change?

October 1, 2022 - NRC merges with RMC; former NRC members become members of RMC and the Northern Rockies GIG. Voted in by membership and approved by National Board in May.

• What happens to my Northern Rockies Chapter membership?

All NRC members will be converted to RMC members at no additional cost. And, using YOUR funds that remain in the Northern Rockies Chapter’s account, your RMC membership will be extended an additional six months. 

Example: You renewed your NRC membership in February 2022. Normally, your membership would be due again in February 2023. However, when NRC merges with RMC, your RMC membership will be due for renewal in August, 2023.
