Dues and Payment Procedures

IAWS annual dues should be paid by March 1st of the year.

According to a decision by the Academy Board, each Fellow pays dues to secure the administration of activities of IAWS. These activities include upkeep of the website, printing and mailing of the newsletters, support for the Academy Lectures, and support of Executive Board activities. The payment is not enforced for Fellows who have difficulties in submitting a fee for reasons of economy or currency exchange limitations. Should this be the case, please inform the President.

Donations are accepted in a variety of methods as well.

Contributions as a Fellow:

Active : $US 50 [Paid annually]
Retired : $US 20 [Paid annually]
Lifetime : $US 600 [An optional one-time payment for life]
Affiliate: $US 200 [Paid annually]
Donations : Variable

Payments are no longer required once a fellow reaches 80 years old

Methods of Payment:

(1) Check on a United States bank account payable to IAWS (Foreign checks, including Canada, are not accepted, because the bank charges a large fee to process.)

(3) US cash or Euros (paper currency; assume 1 Euro = 1 $US)
