- maintain a connection and a network with affiliated organizations in piping and drumming organizations world wide; and
- a vote at the Annual General Meeting, and
- the opportunity to influence the local piping and drumming community thoughtfully, respectfully and with the greater interest of the Alberta piping and drumming and pipe band community at the forefront.
