Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that you might have some questions about your PEIBWA membership, and we're here to help! Here are some answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:

1. Have PEIBWA membership fees increased?

No, they have not! There will be no increase in fees for 2023 for any of our membership levels. As a member, you'll continue to receive discounts for our events, workshops, and annual Symposium.

2. How has the membership billing changed this year?

We've now moved to a standard annual renewal date of June 1st. This will make the renewal process smoother and more convenient for our members.

3. Can I pay my membership fee by e-transfer?

Yes, you will be able to pay for your 2023 membership fee through e-transfer. You can e-transfer your membership to office@peibwa.org and in the note section please indicate that the payment is for your membership. 

4. Will my account auto-renew in June 2023(and subsequent years)?

Yes, it will! All active accounts will be set to auto-renew, which means you can enjoy the benefits of membership long-term without having to worry about renewing each year. You can simply select your preferred payment option on your profile, and if you ever change your mind, you can easily deselect the auto-renew option.

5. Can I change my membership level part way through the year?

No, unfortunately, you'll have to wait until the new membership year in June to make any changes to your membership level. But don't worry, you can always make that change when you renew your membership.

6. How can I get a copy of my receipt or invoice?

It's easy! Just log into your PEIBWA member account on our website and go to your Member Profile. From there, you can select Invoices and Receipts, and you'll find all of your payment information.
