Please notice that dues are now $35 a year. This is comparable to other craft guilds in Southern California. Your dues help us provide a variety of membership benefits:
- World-class speakers (both their fees and, for in-person meetings, their travel, lodging, and meals) – see the 2023 line-up here
- Meeting and workshop space rental
- Liability insurance for our events
- An extensive Website (which means hosting and domain name fees as well as occasional services of a security and design professional)
- Zoom Business account (required for our number of attendees)
- Workshops! You must be a Guild member to register for any workshop
Our dues remained at $25 for many years, and were kept at that level in 2022 to help commemorate our Guild’s 25th anniversary. In Fall 2022, the Guild Executive Board analyzed our upcoming expenses and voted for the increase. The decision was announced at the November 2022 general membership meeting. The Board does not anticipate any additional dues increase in the foreseeable future.
