1.   Become aware, informed and engaged in the future of the NSP

Read the meeting minutes form the Board of Directors meetings and be knowledgeable of the NSP
        Bylaws and Policies & Procedures
     - 
Read patroller postings on the NSP Member Forum
     -  Read all NSP communications and Patroller Committee updates and website information
