Switching CFA Society- Question

Quick question- if anyone has some insight into this…

I just recently got approved by my local society, I was wondering if its now possible to switch over to NY society for some of the benefits they offer, and obv the credibility that society name holds. I didnt know any NY CFA charterholders at the time(still dont), and had to apply to my local society here, i was wondering if its possible to make the switch being that im already approved to a society, or do I need to pay my dues become a member and then switch? or if its not even possible without a NY CFA sponsor…

Thanks
