Which Membership Category Is Best For You? – BECOR

Which Membership Category Is Best For You?

Overall Fee Savings From Membership:

There are substantial session fee savings from being a BECOR member, even if the other additional benefits of membership are ignored.  For a full year of expected events, total savings amount to $278 when attending all sessions under member rates versus non-member rates.  So, membership pays off with only 50% attendance, and the more you attend the more you save.

 

No Membership: (Pay As You Go, with Higher Session Fees)

 

Attending BECOR events as a non-member could be the right choice for you, if you:

  • only plan to attend a couple BECOR events per year,
  • do not care about missing out on “members only” events, and
  • are not interested in the other benefits of membership (as described elsewhere).

If this sounds like you, membership might not be worthwhile for you.  However, be sure to stay on our mailing list so that you do not miss out on the BECOR events that are of interest to you.

 

Individual – $150: (For those attending 4 or more sessions annually)

If you are likely to attend several BECOR events per year, becoming a member can reduce your costs compared to attending as a non-member.  With total annual savings of about $278 per year and membership costing $150, you only need to attend about half of the events to break even financially.  Plus, membership grants you access to “members only” events and other exclusive BECOR benefits.

 

Senior – $50: (Respecting our elders)

This one is easy.  If you are 65 or older and interested in BECOR events, becoming a Senior member is a great choice.  The member savings from attending only two events will more than pay for your membership.

 

Educational – $300: (Post Secondary Educational Institutions with any BECOR involvement)

If your educational institution has a professor, other personnel or students attending BECOR sessions, this member category provides a great deal for your institution, including FREE attendance for students.

 

Corporate – $700: (Companies with more than 4 members)

A key benefit of Corporate membership is that many personnel share one membership, such that different people can attend different events without the need for multiple Individual memberships.  Therefore, your organization will save money even with only modest attendance at BECOR sessions, in addition to other member benefits.

 

Premium Corporate  – $1,950: (Corporate Members who average 2-3 attendees per session)

Save significant time and money by eliminating the need for multiple expense claims each month.  This membership includes five (5) prepaid attendees per session, with an annual session fee value of about $500 per person, totaling around $2,500 in session fees.

Since the Premium Corporate membership costs $1,250 more than the standard Corporation membership, you only need 50% attendance (about 2 to 3 people per session) for the total cost of the Premium membership to match those of the Corporate plan.

 

Premium Plus Corporate – $2,900: (Corporate Members who average 4-5 attendees per session)

Save more time and money by eliminating the need for multiple expense claims each month.  This membership includes ten (10) prepaid attendees per session, for an annual session fee value of about $5,000.  Therefore, with Premium Corporate costing only $2,200 more than Corporate, you only need 44% attendance (4 to 5 people, on average) for total costs under Premium to be the same as for Corporate.

In summary, if you or your organization attends BECOR sessions, the value of a membership is clear.  The only question left is:  Which membership category is right for you?
