MEMBER SERVICE DISPATCH

Dear Valued Member,

Membership costs are typically set each spring, and the headquarters staff has been hard at work assessing budgetary and resource needs for the 2022-2023 fiscal year. Below are the updated costs for FY2023:

• Certified Members: $198 • Certified Senior: $132 • Certified Inactive/Retired: $48 • Associate Members: $165 • Associate Senior Members: $110 • Student Members: $38 • Supporting Members: $38 • Organizational Members: $198

With membership revenue providing almost 90% of RID’s income, a change to membership cost is necessary to support these much-needed enhancements, especially as we shift towards becoming a stronger professional certification organization.This is the first membership cost increase in six fiscal years. The increases will help support the resources, tools, technology, and expertise required within headquarters as we continue to enhance programs and provide services at levels that meet or exceed member expectations.

Please note: Your membership renewal order should have been received in your member account no later than May 1, 2022. You should have received an email notification from headquarters when the renewal order was added to your account.

RID greatly appreciates your continued support through this time of growth and change. For questions pertaining to your membership or the renewal process, please contact members@rid.org.

Sincerely,

Neal Tucker Director of Member Services and Government Affairs Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf
