Membership Categories

Membership is open to individuals involved in the field of arboriculture and urban forestry and/or simply interested in the benefits and proper care of trees. The Pacific Northwest ISA offers three types of membership levels - Regular, Life, and Student.

• Regular Membership

  Membership is availabe to individuals at $60 per year and allows full voting privileges and the opportunity to run for the PNW-ISA Board of Directors. This regular rate is decreased to $50 if membership is made in conjunction with ISA membership (total fee of $175 for 2010).

• Life Membership

  Individuals may purchase a lifetime membership in the PNW-ISA in lieu of paying annual dues. The current life membership rate is $600. Whether you are new to the field or have been around for years, this membership is an economical option.

• Student Membership

  Students enrolled in a two- or four-year college degree program in arboriculture or a related field are eligible for a special $45 student membership for both the PNW Chapter and the International Society of Arboriculture. Proof of enrollment and your faculty advisors' approval must accompany your membership form.

  A new student discount program will be available.  This program will involve the instructors collecting the dues from students. If an instructor will coordinate the payments, the students will receive a $15 discount.

  For student memberships, contact ISA Membership Department at 888/472-TREE (8733).
