IBEA is pleased to announce that members may now pay their membership dues online in order to renew or start a membership in IBEA. Beginning July 1, 2010, dues will be on a cyclical basis. This means that your dues will be good for one calendar year from the date you renew your membership.

Effective July 1, 2010, ACTE dues have increased to $80.

IBEA will be able to accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and debit cards (with a major credit card logo, such as Visa or MasterCard, in the lower right corner), as well as a PayPal account if you have one.

Only credit, debit, or PayPal payments will be accepted for membership dues when processed through the IBEA website. To renew with a check, you must mail the membership form, along with your payment, to the membership coordinator.

To pay your membership dues online, you must create an account here on the website. If you already have a member account on the website, you should have received a separate e-mail with instructions to renew/upgrade your membership to a paid dues plan. If you haven't received it, please contact the Webmaster at webmaster@ibea.org.

IBEA Reports Going Completely Digital

Beginning with the Fall 2010 issue, ALL issues of the Reports will be available via the IBEA Web site only. The fall issue will be available in the public section of the Web site while the winter and spring issues will be posted in the members-only section.

This decision was agreed upon in order to get information to our members more quickly through the use of the Web, as well as to reduce the growing printing and mailing costs.
