Member Mapping
Mapping Explained
Annually, MNA produces two membership documents that help us visualize our membership in a number of ways:
1. A traditional map - a geographical representation of the our membership distribution across this great, and vast state.
2. A "mapping" document that provides
details about our membership based on a variety of criteria including
when members joined, where they are located in the state, what their
annual operating budget is, and more. This Member Mapping document
allows MNA to track success as a membership organization across time and
geographic space. The information source for most data comes from the
MNA application and/or renewal form sent out to each member. MNA does
not require that members report annual operating budget, payroll, or
number of staff on the application or renewal form, therefore the
mapping document uses only MNA membership levels as categories.
