$25 per annum, or such other amount as
may be agreed to at an annual meeting,
and payable at the beginning of each
calendar year.
Initially, the Board of Directors shall
consist of five producers who will make
the application for the letters patent. The
board shall carry out the activities of the
association, develop a constitution and
by-laws and shall seek ratification of the
constitution and by-laws by the member-
ship at an appropriate time. The chairman
