Several membership classifications exist to meet the current needs of TALGA members and to encourage a broader membership. Full details are available on the membership page. From time to time we second specialist people to the Board to seek expertise in specific fields. We have a number of nominated Area Liaison Representatives to respond to "localised" questions; they are also encouraged to support anyone if they specialise in a particular subject.
