Remaining in Good Standing

Members who are 18 months overdue from payment are suspended from membership and will have access to all services removed until they are able to return to good standing.

Members who are 3 years overdue with payments will have their membership revoked.

Reductions, Waivers or Dederrals
If you need to work out a payment plan, ask the Board (via our Fundraising and Finance Committee) to waive some or all of your dues because of particular financial hardship or have questions about outstanding unpaid dues, please contact us and we can make sure everything is in order.  Fee reductions and waivers are available for members dealing with financial hardship on a case by case basis. Contact the Executive Director to submit your request.
