Frequently Asked Questions

What is the length of membership?
Membership runs the full annual year, January 1st through December 31st.
If I join mid year, do I still have to pay the full membership fee?
No! Money is hard to earn and we don’t want to empty your pockets without something in return. If you join mid year, you pay half of the annual membership fee.
What happens if I want to join at the end of the year - maybe November or December?
You pay full price membership, but you get up to 2 months for free as your membership fee enrolls you for the following year.
EXAMPLE: You join on November 2, 2026 and pay full membership.
- November and December 2026 are free
- January 1, 2027 - December 31, 2027 you are covered by the membership fee
Can I ask my company to pay for my membership?
Of course you can ask, but if they aren’t in a position to cover your membership - you may be able to take the discount on your taxes. Check with your tax preparer or financial advisor.
