Thank You for Joining RWA^® Online

Please read this entire page.  It contains important instructions to complete your membership process.  Following these instructions will get you inside the chapter doors in the fastest, easiest way possible!

The next step...

The next step in your membership process will take care of two important pieces of business. 

1.  You must create a login for our online discussion forums

2.  Paying your membership dues

You will be asked to do the following:

1) Click on the link at the bottom of this page after you read the important message below.  You will be taken to our online discussion forums registration page to create an account and pay your dues.

***DUE TO SPAMMERS, PLEASE USE A "REAL" FIRST AND LAST NAME THAT MATCHES YOUR APPLICATION (EITHER YOUR REAL NAME OR YOUR PSEUDONYM)  AS YOUR USER NAME.  FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A DELAY IN ACCESSING THE CHAPTER.  BECAUSE WE ARE PROFESSIONALS, A FULL FIRST AND LAST NAME IS USED IN OUR CHAPTER AND YOUR LOGIN NAME WILL BE CHANGED BY OUR STAFF IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

2) At the discussion forums registration page, fill out the form on the page to create a login and password.  Pick the NEW CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP (or, after Sep 1, choose the PRORATED MEMBERSHIP option) option under subscription packages.  Complete the rest of the form and submit your registration.

3) Once you get the registration submitted page, you will be provided information you need to make your dues payment.

NOTE:  If you use a PayPal account that uses a name or email address OTHER than the one you submitted on your application form, please annotate the application name in the comments of your payment.  We must be able to match the payments to an application for your membership to be processing quickly and easily.   If you can't find a way to make a comment, please send a note to our treasurer so she knows who the payment is from.

4)  You may continue to log in and review the public portions of our discussion board until your payment is received.  NOTE:  PayPal normally takes less than 1 hour!  Once PayPal verifies your payment, you will have full access to the boards.  Be sure to check out the NEWCOMERS ORIENTATION section for your personal welcome message.
