OPERATIONAL SUPPORT
One of the most exciting benefits of your membership is the operational support hours that are included for your use each year. The number of hours depends on your membership level (Level I - two hours, Level II - four hours, Level III - six hours). You can use the hours for yourself, your staff and your organization. Some members use this resource as an extra hand during a crunch while others use it for special projects. If you need additional assistance you can work with any of our partners at our negotiated, reduced member rates. Click here to view summaries of projects SALA staff have been involved in.
