Associate members must be voted in by a majority vote of the Association Officers.

Life Membership
Life Membership must meet one of the above categories and will be assigned under that category.  Life membership is a payment option for Full or Associate membership.  Membership privileges for Life members depends on whether they meet the guidelines for Full or Associate membership.

Life membership cost is determined by the following formula:

Life Dues = (75-(Current_Age))*(Annual Dues Rate/2)

Example for someone 49 years of age at $10 a year Annual Dues Rate
Life Dues=(75-49)*(10/2)  or $130
