VP Membership Roster: Those who wish to receive the VP Membership Roster in spreadsheet form in order to track their VP award efforts may receive an EXCEL file (compatible with Lotus and other spreadsheet programs) as an e-mail file attachment by sending a request to the VP Award Manager at . Since the file is already set up for record keeping, it is quite large, so be certain that your e-mail system can handle the attachment prior to making your request.
