Community Access
In addition to full membership, UNITE also offers access to the UNITE site and certain resources with a Free Community Access User Id. Community Access provides access to all public areas of the site and also permits one to join and participate in UNITE public forums and communicate with UNITE through the web site. Community Access does not provide full access to all UNITE member benefits and resources.
Membership Dues
To become a Member of UNITE, an individual must pay their annual membership fee, or be entitled to membership by a paid attendance at the most recent UNITE conference, or be entitled to membership due to their organization paying a fee for an Organization Membership in UNITE.
Individuals can join UNITE with an annual membership fee of $150. This establishes the individual as a member of UNITE and grants them access to the UNITE Member only section.
When an individual acquires UNITE membership, their organization or company is considered a member of UNITE for voting purposes. It is the organizations that have voting rights, not the individual members. UNITE organizations each have a single vote in elections or any other matters that come before the UNITE Community.
Membership Approval
When an individual applies for membership by submitting the membership form, their information will automatically be submitted to the Board of Director’s membership chair for review. The membership chair will review the organization’s qualifications for membership and recommend subsequent action by the Board of Directors for approval.
In the event that the Board of Directors determine that the individual or their organization does not meet the qualifications for UNITE membership, the Board will terminate the membership and refund the membership fees.
