TAPA
Americas has implemented a “Prorated” concept for new
members/companies joining TAPA. New members joining
mid-year will pay prorated dues for the remaining months
of the year (after membership application-approval).
I.e. If a new member is
approved in May, they would only pay Corporate: $1050 (7
months remaining X $150/month) or Individual: $350 (7 X
$50). All existing members (that are “renewing”
membership or paying for the first time) will need to
pay the entire year, $1800 or $600, no matter when they
pay. Before paying dues (via Pay-Pal or
Check), please contact the TAPA Treasurer at
treasurer@tapaonline.org to request/confirm the
prorated amount and an amended invoice.
