You may join at any time. The annual membership renewal date is based on the date that the member joins. Membership dues help support our educational programs, guest speakers, website, newsletter, and other chapter activities.
Note: Online payments are processed through a service called Zeffy, and is free to nonprofits because it asks payers whether they want to add an optional contribution to Zeffy at checkout. This contribution is optional and appreciated, and can be adjusted to $0. The Roundtable still receives 100% of the payment.
Board testing note: The Zeffy form currently includes a $0 (free) board test option. This option will be removed before the form is shared publicly.
