Details about joining ILDA

For Corporate members, ILDA dues depend on the company's annual lasershow-related billings:

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. Level 1 Members have four votes, Level 2 Members have three votes, and Level 3 Members have two votes.

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).

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.
