2012 Membership Application for the Massachusetts Coalition for Suicide Prevention

The Massachusetts Coalition for Suicide Prevention is becoming a membership organization, with an annual dues structure that will generate revenue sufficient to cover many of the key advocacy activities of the coalition. There are two key reasons for this change:

• In these uncertain financial times, we cannot depend upon funding solely through the Massachusetts State Department of Public Health for all coalition-related activities.
• There have been significant changes to the advocacy/lobbying regulations that require revenue apart from public funds in order to ensure that our coalition has a continuing voice in shaping suicide prevention policy and to continue the education of our legislators on this important issue.

Become a member of the leading Massachusetts suicide prevention collaboration and enjoy these benefits:

• Be a voice /play a role in shaping suicide prevention policy
• Participate in educating legislators and other policy makers on suicide prevention and related issues
• Opportunities to network with other individuals and organizations who are committed to reducing the incidence of suicide
• Increased access to suicide prevention experts throughout the state
• Listing as member on the coalition website with organizational website/contact information
• Organizational scholarships to the annual conference (see descriptions, above)
• Individual discounts to the annual conference (see descriptions, above)
• Use of the Coalition Listserve to quickly connect with other coalition members on topics of importance
• Notification of all Coalition meetings, trainings, state house event and state conference
• Memberships are effective for a calendar year (January through December)

Membership fee is on a sliding scale.
Please submit the appropriate amount for your organization.
