Colleagues:

Over the years there have been many inquiries to VAPAA about membership and asking about a Lifetime category.

The VAPAA has various membership levels and recently the Board of Directors met and approved a new category of membership. As of now, the Lifetime membership has been added to the membership levels. All but this new category require an annual renewal.

If anyone is now interested, since it is now time to be renewing your membership, you may elect to be a LIFETIME member.

This is quite a deal since for a onetime payment of $750 you may join VAPAA for life. In this day and age of ever increasing prices…take a look at your gasoline bill, as one example…you will never need to pay any more money. Even though a dues increase is not planned, as expenses grow a dues increase in the future is a real possibility. By paying the $750, you will never need to worry about a dues increase.

If you would like to be a Lifetime member, send in your renewal for this year, 2008, along with the onetime payment of $750 and you will be a Lifetime member of the only professional organization that represents you and your chosen VA profession.

If you pay your dues by electronic dues transfer, you will need to cancel this method and send to VAPAA your Lifetime dues along with the membership renewal.

Thank you and welcome to all the new Lifetime members.
