Membership Dues
On the second page of our membership application, we invite you to select your membership dues from the list below. We provide a guide here, inviting folks to pay dues aligned with their income, professional status, and other resources.* Your selected dues amount remains confidential, and there is no distinction between different membership types.
*We invite you to consider how the concept of resources more generally pertains to you. Resources are more than just money. They include the historical benefits of having privileges associated with one’s social location and the historical losses from not having these privileges and influence how you locate yourself socially and economically. The legacies of benefits and legacies of losses may also be considered in selecting your fee.
