The membership year runs from September to August. Your dues go a long way to help fund things such as: speakers, the website, the PO Box, printed materials, and much more.
We understand sometimes people can't afford anything extra though. If you'd like to join the VBGS but can't spare the funds at this time, you can apply for a scholarship. Click here for more information.
