Waiver or Reduction of Dues: Situations of Financial Hardship
Any current member who receives an invoice for dues renewal or any new member applicant may request a waiver or reduction of dues for a one-year period if there is a situation of financial hardship. To make this request contact Angela Lombardo, Co-Chair of Membership Committee and website administrator at angela.lombardo@childrens.harvard.edu. Please indicate in your email request what amount you are able to pay.
At the end of a one-year period of waiver or reduction in dues, the member may apply again for another one-year period of waiver or reduction. DSMIG-USA will seek grants to fund this initiative.
