Annual Membership Fee Increase and Structure Changes
MAGIP membership fees have not increased since the organization’s origin. Last year, the MAGIP Board initiated an evaluation of our membership structure and existing fees. A Task Force was formed to review and analyze historic fees and membership levels (Associate Member A, Associate Member B, etc.). Upon careful review and consideration, a new fee structure and membership model has been approved. Click this link to view the Task Force Recommendation letter. Membership fees have increased, and membership levels have been condensed to provide an efficient alternative for larger organizations:
- Individual Membership: $50 Annually ($20 increase)
- Student Membership: $25 Annually ($10 increase)
- Restructure Associate Membership as follows:
-
- Rename Associate Membership to “Organizational Membership”
- Organizational Membership includes 5 members at the cost of $250 Annually.
- Additional Members can be added at $40 per person annually ($10 savings)
Renewal Date Change
In conjunction with the fee increase, the MAGIP Board has also reviewed our existing renewal process. The Board has determined that all memberships be renewed on a single date (rather than when a member initially initiated a membership). The transition to an annual renewal date will assist administration with member management, analysis, and help prepare for our annual elections process. The Board has worked diligently to determine how this change will affect existing memberships and recent renewals. We feel this timeline is appropriate, as it provides a renewal opportunity one month prior to our annual conference.
Note: Renewals will be due on March 1 each year
Organizational Membership
An Organizational Membership includes five (5) members at the cost of $250 to be renewed annually on March 1.
Additional Members can be added at the cost of $40 per person annually - A $10 savings per Membership!
Organizational Members are featured on the MAGIP homepage and are listed on the MAGIP Organizational Members page.
