All reference forms must be received within 60 days after receipt of application. The Secretary, who also serves as chairman of the Membership Committee, will notify the applicant of the Membership Committee's determination. If the applicant has met the membership criteria, a dues notice will be included. Applicants have 30 days upon receipt of notification of acceptance to pay appropriate membership dues. Membership begins when the initial dues payment is processed.
Applicants are responsible for dues for the year in which they are accepted.
