Dues

Dues are a necessary requirement to provide membership benefits and to maintain the organization.

An alternative is to donate $240 to the 501(c)3 CVM Foundation. You will automatically become a member of CVMS and the Foundation at the same time and the amount is fully deductible as a charity.

You will receive a receipt after your payment is made. 

You may cancel your membership at any time and receive a pro-rated refund.

Annual dues are required on or before January 1 of each calendar year, If you join later in the year as a new member, dues will be pro-rated by a factor of 12 depend on the month you join.  If annual dues are not paid by April 1 of any given year, the membership will have to be terminated.
