IPSA INTRODUCES A NEW INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE STRUCTURE
 
The IPSA individual membership fee structure was completely redesigned and modernized to better respond to the various financial capacities of our global membership. IPSA individual membership is now branched into four groups (A, B, C and D) based on the country of residence. Each category is then subdivided into the usual membership categories of Regular 2-years, Student 1-year, Student 2-years, Senior 2-years, and Lifetime. We are excited to be able to offer significantly lower rates for residents of many countries.
 
Highlights
 
  • Group B residents receive a discount of over 50% compared to last year's membership rates.
  • Group C residents enjoy a 64% to 87% fee reduction compared to Group A.
  • Group D residents get FREE membership!
  • Plus, the 35-years age limit for student membership was waived. Students of all ages will now be able to join IPSA at student-discounted rates.
