"Extra Miler" designation was approved at FSBA Board of Managers Meeting on March 12, 2005.  The new designation of "Extra Miler" recognizes those members who already were designated as life members of the FSBA, but who additionally donated another hive or another "life member" cash equivalent ($250) to the association's apiary.  As acknowledgement, Extra Milers will be provided with free registration at annual state conventions.
