Membership fees and the IPEd levy
The society joined the Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd) in 2008, but had in fact been required to pay a levy on all its members of $20 a year before that time. This substantial sum was paid from the society's reserves, but that situation was not sustainable in the long term. The society's committee decided to pass on half of the IPEd levy to members from the 2010-11 financial year and to continue to meet the other half of the levy from reserves and from membership fees to the society. The committee's objectives in doing so were twofold:
- to minimise erosion to the society's reserves to enable us to continue expanding our services to members
- to increase awareness among members of the direct contribution they make to IPEd as a way of increasing commitment to, and involvement in, the national organisation by our members.
We encourage you to take an interest in the uses to which your levy payment is being put. Further information about IPEd is on its website, at www.iped-editors.org.
