Area 5 is excited to have over 280 ringers and/or directors as members. We hope to see many of you at our festivals and workshops this year!

Does your church or organization have a group membership? If so, your ringers may join HMA for only $10 a year. View the different types of memberships available here.

The resource library located in the Members Only section on the Handbell Musicians of America website is a marvelous place to access various handbell related articles, including some interactive PDFs, PowerPoint webinars, and other related materials! You will find resources designed for the community/professional, the education, or the faith-based ringer or director.

Please visit Handbell Musicians of America to find out more about membership benefits like MemberNotes and MemberChats.

What can you do to encourage new ringers and directors to join our wonderful organization?

• If you have been to an Area 5 event or a national event, share your experience with others who have never done so.
• Plan a fundraising event or ask your church or organization to give a scholarship to help ringers finance registration to the next spring ring or fall workshop.
