Under our bylaws, we have two classes of members: a full member is the person in each state or territory who is designated as the state genetics coordinator by the director of each state's health department. Full members may attend all meetings of members, vote, hold office, and serve on the Executive Committee, committees and sub-committees. Associate members are persons who are interested in promoting the Coalition's mission and who do not qualify for full membership. Associate members have all the benefits of full members except they may not vote, serve on the Executive Committee, or be chair of a committee.

A full copy of the Coalition's bylaws, in pdf format, may be found HERE. You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to read them. If you don't have the Reader, you can download it HERE.
