| Trial Membership | Free |
ISSA offers a free 90-day trial membership to enable you to acquaint yourself with the Association. This trial membership entitles you to all of the benefits offered by the International Association, including receiving copies of the ISSA Magazine, access to the ISSA International web site, and discounts to conferences and training events sponsored by the international Association. If you choose to become a Trial member, your information will be forwarded to the Chapter President of the closest local chapter in your area. You will be contacted by the local chapter and invited to attend the local chapter meetings. This trial membership does not entitle you to any benefits that are sponsored by the local chapter, including discounts to local conferences or educational events. To receive local chapter benefits, you must pay both the International dues and that particular Chapter's dues. During your 90 day FREE Trial, you will receive periodic notices asking you to become an official paid member of the Association. If you would like to continue receiving all of the benefits of an ISSA membership, you should send in your payment at that time. The benefits you receive as a FREE Trial member will be terminated if you have not paid your dues and become a member of the Association before the end of the 90 days. |
