Members may waive the right to self-disclose annual income if no adjustment from the maximum due amount is requested. Dues may be paid in monthly installments or in full at the beginning of a member’s tenure. A discount of $250 is available if the due amount is paid in full at the beginning of a member’s tenure.. Once this application is complete, you will receive details on how to pay your dues.
