MEMBERSHIP POLICIES

Can I pause my membership?

AMMI Canada does not allow memberships to be put on hold. However, Active Members on parental or medical leave for at least six months can apply for a membership fee reduction for up to 12 months. This reduces fees but suspends certain benefits, such as discounted journal submissions and conference rates. Can I pause my membership?

Members in the fee reduction period retain access to members-only website content, listservs, and online resources. Those serving in leadership roles should notify the AMMI Canada Secretariat about their ability to continue or request a hiatus. Can I pause my membership?

The fee reduction must start and end within the same calendar year (January 1 – December 31) and is not retroactive. Requests must be submitted within 30 days of leave commencement. If leave spans two years, the reduction applies to the year with the majority of leave. For example, leave from November 2020 to November 2021 qualifies for a reduction in 2021. Can I pause my membership?

To request a fee reduction, email membership@ammi.ca with details. Eligible members pay 50% of dues for the leave year. Full dues resume the following year. Fee reductions apply for a single calendar year per leave, even if leave exceeds 12 months.
AMMI Canada acknowledges the financial adjustment Members-in-Training face upon transitioning to full Active Membership. To ease this transition, an incremental dues increase schedule has been established:

  • 1st year post-graduation: $150
  • 2nd year post-graduation: $250
  • 3rd year post-graduation: Full Active Member dues apply

Upon joining, Members-in-Training provide their expected graduation date. On this date, AMMI Canada will update their membership profile. Annual invoices will reflect their post-graduate year and corresponding dues.

This policy takes effect with the 2024 AMMI Canada dues cycle. The AMMI Canada Secretariat will review and update all current Members-in-Training files accordingly.

AMMI Canada’s membership year runs from January to December. Annual dues must be paid upon invoice receipt and no later than June 30 to maintain membership. Members who do not submit payment by this deadline will have their membership terminated.

 

To reinstate membership after July 1, former Active Members must:

  1. Contact the AMMI Canada Secretariat by email at membership@ammi.ca.
  2. Pay a $75 administration fee (additional to the annual membership fees).
  3. Update their membership profile

 

An invoice for the administration fee will be issued, and reinstatement will occur only after payment is received.

 

Note: To be eligible for a chair or board position, members must have maintained two consecutive years of membership.
