The Orientation and Education Committee role is to share new members with a high level summary of current and imperative information about our chapter and National Assistance League.   We provide new members with the tools and information to become an active member, establish mentor-ships to help integration within the chapter and provide ongoing education to all members.

We are so pleased you chose Assistance League Sierra Foothills to give back to the community.   The online member handbook,  provides you with direct links to information about our history, operational practices  and ways to apply your time, talent and treasure!

We welcome your feedback on making this online handbook more useful; please send suggestions to Bonni Bergstrom, Education Chairman
