SRRRMN Membership
Membership Categories
- Organizational Member – Any organization or association
involved directly in or a provider of search, rescue, or recovery
services within the State of Minnesota that meets the current
standards established by the Board of Directors. Each Organizational
Member has a single vote. Each Organizational Member will annually
appoint one individual to serve as their voting delegate at meetings
of the membership.
- Individual Member – Any person involved in search,
rescue, and recovery activities and not affiliated with an
organization that holds an Organizational Membership in SRRRMN.
Exceptions to the dual membership limitation may be made by a
majority of the Board if, in the Board’s view, the service provided
by the individual is of such unique nature that it warrants separate
representation within SRRRMN. The Individual Members have a single
vote as a block. The block vote for the Individual Members is
determined by tallying the vote of the Individual Members and
submitting the outcome as a single vote.
- Affiliate Member – Any organization, association, or
individual involved indirectly with search, rescue, or recovery
activities or interested in supporting the mission of, or share
similar goals and objectives as SRRRMN. Affiliate members will not
have voting privileges but may participate in SRRRMN committees.
- Provisional Member – Organizations or individuals whose
applications are being processed by the Membership Committee.
Membership Eligibility
Membership shall be open to all organizations, agencies, and
individuals involved in search, rescue, and recovery activities, or

to the Membership Committee, and the Membership Committee approving
it.
SRRRMN does not discriminate in any manner on the basis of race,
