Local Groups, Affiliates, and Associates

 

*LG = Local Group;  AF = Affiliate Group; AS = Associate Group; AP = Application Pending

 

Local groups are organizations whose primary identity is linked to FOR and who usually use FOR’s name locally.  Affiliates and associates are groups developed independently of FOR, but want to be part of FOR’s grassroots network. Those contacts who have e-mail addresses may be reached by clicking directly on their name (to avoid directly posting e-mail addresses online and to thereby discourage spam).
