Your membership does not stop at the national and state level. Your dues are further put to work for you at the local level. Missouri has 6 components and the map below shows you the county breakdown. 

​

You as a member can decide which component to belong to. Many hygienists live in bordering counties and chose to belong to a component perhaps that their residency might suggest otherwise.
