New members are welcome (see membership form). Benefits of chapter membership include a library of gesneriad reference materials, access to rare and unusual gesneriads, and a source for hard-to-obtain growing supplies. We hold an annual show where members display their plants in a judged show, provide information to the public, and host a plant sale open to the public.

We encourage membership in The Gesneriad Society, an international society devoted to the identification, culture, propagation, and conservation of gesneriads. Its journal, Gesneriads, is published four times a year, and its website includes extensive information about gesneriads. It also sponsors an annual convention hosted by a different chapter each year.
