Membership Renewal:
With the start of the new year it is time for all of us to renew
our Membership! At the 2008 Board of Directors Meeting an increase was
approved for the annual dues. General membership fees will increase from
$30 to $50 USD, Student membership fees will increase from $20 to $30 USD, and
Life Membership fees will increase from $300 to $500 USD. The fee increase
will go into effect for the calendar year 2008, so if you have not already
become a Life Member and are considering doing so this would be a very
economical time to do so before the rates go up!!! IFESS operates on the calendar year and needs operating
capital from its members to support conference and support activities.
