Memberships

2025 Memberships are now open for the year. 

If you did your orientation for your 2024 membership, you will not be required to redo it for 2025. If you are a new member or did not complete the orientation for the 2024 year, you will be required to complete it before your application is approved. 

New and Renewing Member Steps:

2.  Upload a picture to your profile (This will be the photo on your membership card). Head & shoulders, bright (face your light source such as a window). Avoid half-face shadows. Your face must be unobstructed. A simple photo taken with your cell phone works best.

When an application is received, the Membership Chair looks for all required information. If any is missing, she needs to take time to email and request it. Your application goes onto the “complete when information comes in” pile. Membership will endeavour to complete your application as soon as possible.
