AWBS International Women’s Club

Terms and Conditions of Membership

Use of the Club Name, Logo, and Membership Directory: The names AWBS International Women’s Club, AWBS, its logo, tagline and its membership directory and the information contained therein, are not to be used except as authorized by the Governing Board (the “Board”). They may not be used for commercial or personal gain, or to support or endorse any political, business, or religious group.

Dues

Membership dues are payable in British pounds Sterling and are effective for one year, from July 1 to June 30 (the “Club Year”). The amount of the dues is set by the Board. Members (whose membership has technically terminated as of June 30) may be allowed to continue to participate in club activities until October 1 at the discretion of the Board (“Summer Extension”). The Summer Extension may be revoked at any time. The Summer Extension allows members to participate in any activities scheduled during the summer, and also allows members to renew during (or shortly after) the first club meeting in September. With this sole exception, AWBS does not allow memberships to be carried forward – memberships last for one year and must be renewed at the end of the one-year period.

Membership dues are non-refundable, and membership is not transferable. There are no refunds of dues even in the event of revocation of membership. It is not possible to freeze membership accounts during periods in which members might be unable to participate in AWBS activities for any reason. Annual dues help cover the cost of General Meetings (including speaker fee and venue hire), special events, the website, insurance and other administrative overheads.

The AWBS newsletter is considered an essential part of being an AWBS member and all members will receive it unless they choose to opt out by changing their email preferences in their Member Profile.
