OSLHA Affiliate Requirements

Affiliates are defined as those organizations whose primary function is to provide a forum for all Association Members whether of a professional specialty or in a geographic area of the State of Ohio.

An organization may affiliate with the Association, provided a copy of its current By-Laws is on file with the Association Secretary.  Affiliation shall be maintained provided the membership roster is received by the Association Secretary annually by January 31, showing that a majority of members are Members of the Association, and that there is a minimum of fifteen (15) members in the organization that is requesting Affiliate status.  Affiliate Representation shall be Active Members of the Association and be ex-officio, non-voting members of OSLHA Legislative Council.

Any Affiliate failing to meet the above requirements shall be on probation for one year and, failing to comply after the probationary year, shall be suspended.  Once suspended, an Affiliate must apply to the Association in the original manner.
