Study, Action, and
Interest Groups
Study, Action, and Interest groups provide an opportunity for members
to grow intellectually and
creatively, broaden their involvement in topics of interest, become
agents for intelligent community action and meet people who share
similar interests. Any member of the NMCB branch may join an
existing group or visit as a guest. Guests may also
participate in groups, but must join
within three months of first attending as a guest.
