Membership

Becomming a member of the Will County Beekeepers Association has a growing list of benefits. As a fairly new organization, we are still establishing many of our goals and activities. Your voice in our planning meetings and your time volunteering to further our reach is greatly appreciated. Here is what we can currently offer members:

Vote on organizational issues and in our election process
Ability to serve as an officer or on the board of directors
Membership into the Illinois State Beekeepers Association (a $10 value)
Attendance to our regular meetings, outings and activities
Education, mentoring and discussion with other local beekeepers
Access to a members-only area of our website

We are working on other benefits such as:

Assistance working with villages regarding beekeeping ordinances
Group discounts on bees and supplies
Participation in educational and competitive events

Membership is $20 per person and is valid from January 1 through December 31 of the current calendar year. If you are already a paid member of ISBA, then your dues are $10.

You may join at any time by filling out our membership request form online, then submitting your payment by check or cash to our mailing address or to our Secretary at our next meeting. We encourage all beekeepers in a family unit to become members but realize this is not always possible. Only paid members can vote on organizational issues and in our elections.
