A New Year Brings New, Reduced Membership Fees...
The membership fees have been adjusted to be more affordable.
Our goal is to offer the same quality programming for a larger membership.
Membership fees for 2010:
$45.00 Professional
$18.00 Student
(CIA students are free)
Included with membership is your own portfolio page on the NOIS website with sample images and contact information as well as a link to your online portfolio. For Membership Info and a pdf Application for New Members, click here. Only active members up-to-date with membership fees will remain on the website after Feb. 15, 2010, so we need to hear from you by the end of January.
All members need to renew their membership by January 30, 2010. Membership will be active through the following January. (If you have paid dues in 2009, you need not pay again until January of 2011.)
