Membership Dues

We have streamlined online membership dues payment as unlike in previous years, we are unable to accept cash payments. Only members in good standing – that is members who have paid their membership dues, have voting rights and are eligible for the free positions on the Executive Committee. Members need to click the “Pay Membership Dues” button on the home page. On the “Membership Dues” page, members need to select their dues payment amount, input their full name, email address, (company name if corporate), and credit card/method of payment details. A tutorial on how to make payments is available here.

Special Advisory for IGFSA 2022 Membership Dues Payments

* *IGFSA members who paid their membership dues prior to the 2022 GA will remain in good standing for the 2023 EC elections and will be eligible to run for EC elections as well as receive a ballot to vote in the elections.

Please refer to the directions sent out via the members mailing list.
