Membership

Membership in SIP covers one calendar year (from January through December).  You can renew your membership for a period one or two years, with the exception of student memberships, which expire annually.

The period of renewal begins in October of each year, even though you can make payment for dues at any time of the year.  The membership payments received between January and June of each year are applied to the actual year in which payments are made.  The payments received after the beginning July are applied to the succeeding year—in which case the benefits of membership will be enjoyed beginning in January of the succeeding year.  All charges are made on US dollars (USD).

Dues

The structure of dues in this table shows their relation to the regions served by SIP, the professional level of members and the membership period in which they are interested.

Categories

  • Professional
  • Student

Everyone who during the year for which membership is being sought is enrolled in courses leading to a professional degree is considered to be a student.  Such persons must include with their application for membership official evidence of registration or matriculation; also admitted as evidence would be a letter of certification from a school Director of Dean.  A student identification card is not sufficient evidence, even though such cards might be included.  Student memberships must be renewed annually.
