To meet our financial goals as a non-profit organization, WALPA updated its bylaws at the fall conference to adopt an annual membership fee structure. To remain a WALPA member in good standing, all current members will need to renew their membership for 2025 and pay annual dues.
This change will take some adjustment for us all but is critical to help WALPA stabilize its financial status. Having a sustainable financial model will allow us to continue to fulfill our mission to encourage and support programs for lake and watershed protection, restoration, and management.
All current members will be contacted via email about renewing their membership. We also have a new membership page on our website https://www.walpa.org/membership/ where you can renew. We have shifted to a secure online platform called Zeffy, which does not charge WALPA fees (note that fees are optional at checkout). Checks may be mailed to our PO box in lieu of online payment.
The table below describes membership levels and their various benefits. Starting in 2025, we have added an additional category called Lifetime Member. Lifetime Members will be featured on our website and in Waterline, in addition to enjoying all the other membership benefits. Help support WALPA today by renewing your membership!
