Membership in ETA is a corporate membership.


For Renewing Members:

Effective January 2010, the ETA membership year runs with the Calendar Year from January 1 to December 31.

What does this mean for my company?

•    We already renewed our membership.

If you paid ETA membership dues between July 1, 2009 and January 31, 2010, your membership is active through June 30, 2010.  At the time of your next renewal, ETA will invoice you for 18 months of dues (July 1, 2010 – December 31, 2011) to align your membership with the calendar year going forward.

•    We need to renew our membership.

If you have not renewed your ETA membership as of January 31, 2010, your membership has expired.  To reinstate your membership and make current outstanding dues, please complete a membership renewal application and fax to 202-828-2639.  Your dues are calculated for 18 months (July 1, 2009 – December 31, 2010) automatically aligning your membership with the calendar year going forward.
