Policy regarding payment of IAMS Membership Fees

1.       Each member is obliged to pay the membership fee in order to maintain his or her membership of the association

2.       Due to the international and cross-cultural nature of the association, prompt payment of dues cannot be expected in all cases. The secretariat needs to assess each member on an individual basis, taking into account factors like financial ability, ability to communicate with IAMS, etc.

3.       Normally membership will be terminated, if a member has not paid membership dues for the last three years. In that case a letter will be sent to the member, asking the member to pay the missing dues within one month. Otherwise the membership will be terminated.

4.       If a deleted member should later want to resume membership, he or she can be adopted into new membership without a formal application procedure if the person is still in missiological positions that would make him or her eligible for membership. Such a member is asked to pay membership fees for the next four years at re-entry into the association.
