Membership Prices and Policies
Fees for Professional memberships are adjusted according to our Economic Leveling program, which is based on the member’s country of residence and the country’s purchasing power relative to that of the U.S. See table below for pricing tiers.
If you live in a country that makes you eligible for Economic Leveling pricing and you have the financial resources to pay the full fee, we invite you to choose the highest level that you can comfortably support.
Professional membership payments are apportioned between mark fees and membership fees. The full annual mark fee is $50, of which $40 is paid to the mark holder (Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen) and $10 to BMCA as sub-licensor of the marks.
Recent graduates who become a Professional Member for the first time receive a 25% discount in their first year of membership, and 15% their second year.
Annual and monthly plans are available.
If you choose an annual plan and prefer to pay via PayPal (which supports bank transfer and non-U.S. currencies), please let us know. We will send you a PayPal link.
MONTHLY PLANS
Each payment includes a small administrative fee (also prorated for Economic Leveling).
The mark fee is due in full at the time of initial registration/renewal. We will send you an invoice once you register for the mark fee minus any affiliated organization discounts. Your membership will be set to pending status until the mark fee invoice is paid.
To pay your mark fee via PayPal, use the appropriate link below:
DISCOUNTS
First year graduates of SME or IDME programs are eligible for a 25% discount on their membership fee. Second year graduates are eligible for a 15% discount.
Active members of affiliated organizations (ISMETA, GLIA, BMC® France) are eligible for discounts:
For members choosing an annual plan who are eligible for these discount(s), use discount codes ismeta, glia or bmcfrance ($15 discount), and for dual membership use gliaismeta or bmcfranceismeta ($30 discount).
For members choosing a monthly plan who are eligible for these discounts, make sure to select the relevant organizations in the Affiliated Organizations section of the membership form. We will apply the discount(s) in your mark fee invoice.
Profile Update Tips
If you want to be shown on the Professional Locator map, but don’t want your street address to show, remove your street address from your profile, and keep your city/state/postal code/country. Uncheck the privacy option for “do not show street address in profile.”
The keyword search will search only your name, organization name, city, business card, and profile fields. It will not search your full location. To facilitate people finding you by location, add location keywords (city, state, country) to your profile.
The Business Card section of your profile, where you can add an image and brief description, will display in the Professional Locator search results.
