IPAY's New Membership Rates
MAY 7, 2009IPAY Announces New Membership Rates
IPAY is THE service organization for the performing arts for young people in North America. Our membership consists of presenting organizations, artist agencies, and individuals who actively participate in the field. Our membership is diversely represented by geographical location, organizational size, and artistic form. Membership provides these professionals with a network for creating, learning about, presenting, and touring of work suitable for youth and family audiences. With over 270 members, IPAY represents a growing industry of practitioners who value the arts as integral to the education and development of young people.
Over the past few years, in recognition of the value to the community of year-round networking and professional development, IPAY has expanded its year round membership benefits and the discount to members to attend its annual conference, Showcase. In so doing, IPAY is increasingly dependent on its growing membership to support its efforts with active participation in IPAY activities, serving on committees and the board, and financial support in dues and personal donation.
IPAY will shift to its new rates on July 1. ACT NOW AND SAVE. Join IPAY before the rates go up!
