A member is someone who has paid either our annual membership fee or our one-time-only life membership fee.
|
Our membership categories and fees are:
|
| |
| |
Annual |
| |
Individual | |
$ 15 | per individual |
| Family | |
$ 20 | per household (mailing address) |
| |
| Life | |
$ 100 | per individual |
|
The Membership Year: Membership begins in September and
ends the following August.
Single and Family memberships nominally expire, therefore, on 31 August.
Annual Renewal: Membership should be renewed
as early as possible after August.
Individuals and households who have not renewed prior to 1 January
will no longer be regarded as members of the Association.
Adjustments: The fee for a membership taken up or renewed after 31 December is not pro-rated.
However, at the discretion of the Treasurer, a membership taken up or renewed
in March through to August will normally be extended to the end of the
next Membership Year.
Other financial contributions: Other contributions
are entirely voluntary and always welcome.
Such contributions may be dedicated to a specific activity, such as the annual
lectures series or a specific HA award. Our Membership Application Form
(accessed via a link below) includes a section for anyone wishing to make a
one-time or recurring special contribution.
Before continuing you may wish to read our Privacy Policy.
