Paying for your new or renewed membership
You have two options to pay for your membership:

IMHCA
c/o Courtney Ackerson

2. Use Paypal to pay online.
When the online registration process takes you to Paypal, if you do not have a Paypal account, you can sign up for a free Paypal account. Unfortunately, we cannot accept online payments for a membership without a Paypal account. This is a more secure way of paying than if we accepted your credit card information directly on our site. Paypal will set up automatic annual renewal payments for your membership. If you want to cancel the automatic renewal, you can do that from your settings in Paypal, or email that request to
[email protected].
Please select a membership type from the options below to sign up or renew.
