about joining ILDA
Membership
categories
There are four categories of
membership in ILDA:
|
CORPORATE |
A company that is involved with laser
displays and shows. This includes making
and presenting laser shows, manufacturing lasers and equipment
used in laser shows, and providing
lasershow-related services.
|
|
NONPROFIT |
Museums, schools,
planetariums, trade associations, national and local government
offices, and other not-for-profit organizations.
|
|
INDIVIDUAL |
A
person who is interested in lasers; this includes freelance laserists.
|
|
STUDENT |
A
person who is enrolled
full-time in an accredited school, college or university.
|
Dues level
For
Corporate members, ILDA dues
depend on the company's annual lasershow-related billings:
-
Level 1:
Annual
billings above USD$1,000,000. ILDA dues are $1000.
-
Level 2: Annual
billings between $250,000 and $1,000,000. ILDA dues are $500.
-
Level 3: Annual
billings less than $250,000. ILDA dues are $250
Here is how to calculate a
company's annual lasershow-related billings:
-
Dues are based on a company's annual billings.
This means how much the
company made last year (gross sales income, before any expenses or
profit are taken out).
-
Dues are based only on the
lasershow-related part of billings. This includes
-- Sales of services such as performing shows
or creating artwork
-- Sales and rentals of products
such as lasers and projectors.
If a company does lighting, sound and other non-lasershow activities,
these are not included -- ILDA is only concerned with lasershow-related
activities.
-
Dues are based on self-reporting. We
don't check up on companies. While it is possible that a company could
under-report (and pay lower dues than they owe) or over-report (and seem like a larger
company in our listings), we trust that companies will pick the correct dues
level.
Benefits of paying more dues
Level 1 and Level 2 companies receive more prominent listings
in the ILDA Membership Directory. They also have additional votes
whenever ILDA has elections for Board of Directors, and when voting on
various issues affecting the association.
New member mid-year discount
ILDA's dues year runs from
January 1 to December 31. If you are a new member, and you join anytime
after April 1, you get a prorated "mid-year" discount. This is because you aren't an
ILDA Member for the entire calendar year. The exact dates and discount
amounts are listed on the various membership forms put out by ILDA
(online and printed).
Members
in the past 3 years pay full price
Note that there is no
mid-year discount for current and recent past Members. This is to avoid a
situation where Members let their membership lapse, and then rejoin in
the middle of the year to save money. Instead, current and recent past
Members must pay the full membership dues no matter when in the year
they renew (or rejoin).
"Recent past Members" means
if a company or person was an ILDA Member in any of the three years
immediately preceding the current membership year.
For example, if you were a
Member in 2005, and you wanted to rejoin during 2008, you would pay full
price. In 2009 your three years run out -- you can join as a "new"
member. If you join on or after April 1 2009 you would be eligible again
for the mid-year discount.
