For the fiscal year there were 250 Associate Members. 2) An Active Member also has a sincere interest in Avatar Meher Baba & shows effort to become and remain informed regarding Meherana's goals, activities, and history as well as contributes service work for Meherana. For the fiscal year there were 21 Active Members. Only Active Members may hold office or vote on official business. Both types of membership need to be applied for annually.
