Membership Dues
We have streamlined online membership dues payment as unlike in previous years, we are unable to accept cash payments. Only members in good standing – that is members who have paid their membership dues, have voting rights and are eligible for the open positions on the Executive Committee. Members need to click the “Pay Membership Dues” button on the home page. On the “Membership Dues” page, members need to select their dues payment amount, input their full name, email address, (company name if corporate), and credit card/method of payment details. A tutorial on how to make payments is available here. Please refer to the directions sent out via the members mailing list.
