Association "Umbrella" Policy

For associations that are members of PESC, payment of dues enables both unlimited staff participation in PESC and extension of PESC member benefits to its membership as well. The first five (5) representatives from an association's membership can participate at no extra charge. After five (5), a $500 per person fee is assessed. Associations are required to identify and submit the names and contact information for those representatives designated under the umbrella policy on an annual basis. As the association is the member though, official voting remains the sole responsibility of the association.

Referral Discounts

For existing members that refer new members, PESC will reduce the existing member's membership fee by 25% to a maximum of $2,000. The discount is provided once, at the time the new member joins PESC.

Membership Sponsors

Please note that members and affiliates may pay the Membership costs for another organization. Such sponsorships are important for those organizations, especially colleges and universities that have a vested interest in joining PESC but have budgetary restrictions.
