FNPS insurance now requires that we have all chapter field trip attendees sign a form indicating that they understand the nature of the trip and waive liability associated with their participating in it. This means that for each trip your chapter organizes, you must get signatures from all attendees and the trip leader(s). The signed forms should be sent afterward to FNPS Administrative Services at the address below. We will keep them for four years + one day, as per the lawyers. Yes, we know we will drown in paper.

The “op-ed” (opinion editorial) page is the place to try to publish your commentary on FNPS mission oriented issues and topics.  Guest commentaries are articles that appear opposite the editorial page of local and state newspapers. Many op-eds are written by local citizens, experts and leaders of organizations - people like you. They are an extremely powerful and cost-effective way for your chapter to educate a large number of people about your issues and to influence policymakers.
