How to Apply for a Taste of Chaîne

There are three steps to membership:

Apply to the Vice Chargée de Missions, then you will be sent information on the Chaîne and our bailliage, including our schedule of upcoming events. Once you have attended an event, you will be asked to complete and sign a Chaîne Application Form and return it with your payments (see schedule below). You will need to be nominated by a Chaîne member in good standing. If you don’t know a member, a board officer may nominate you.

Your completed application form and nomination will be forwarded to the National Office for validation and registration.

Following completion of these procedures, your membership is active and you will receive access to our member website, which includes a directory containing your contact information, plus a listing of all member emails and phone numbers.

To request attendance at an upcoming event, apply for membership, or to request additional information, please contact Marci Hughes, our Chargée de Missions at: ilvglf@aol.com
