	As the Association got organized, one aspect of managing the registry was the to issue signed membership cards each year so that the member could share their membership status with whoever needed to know. Once signed by the registrar, the card verified that the member was in good standing with the Association. The card would have been used for Association matters like attendance at meetings or work-related matters, like to verify to your employer that you were registered as a professional. Some employers would require such proof while others did not. It is not known when the process started but certainly lasted for the better part of 50 years ending sometime after 2005. In the 1960s and perhaps earlier a booklet titled the Membership Roster was provided to all members with some of the earlier editions containing paid commercial advertising.
