Chapter Membership for 2026


There are two membership renewals each year – this is your West Kootenay Boundary Chapter Renewal and it is different from the LGMA Provincial Membership. Your West Kootenay Boundary Chapter Membership provides access to a grassroots network and opportunities for training close to home where you can meet and connect with colleagues from local governments in your region. As a service to your local chapter, LGMA provides support in collecting fees and maintaining the membership database.
