Membership

Our membership drive begins with the Fall Social. New members who sign up in September will have a “bonus” three months of membership. The regular membership year runs Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st. The membership directory is distributed at the Annual Conference in February. Those wishing to have their name included in the directory need to join or renew at least 4 weeks before the Annual Conference.

Regular membership dues are $25.

Dues for students and retired persons are $15.

Neighbor Island dues are $5.

Membership Benefits
