When renewing your PPA membership, first check the PPA Membership List below to see your membership expiration year (1st column).
1-year, 2-year, 5-year, or Lifetime renewals can be made and the expiration is adjusted relative to the year that the payment is made after it is confirmed by the PPA Secretary/Treasurer.
Joining or renewing membership is a 2-step process:
1. Pay the membership dues ($15/year) by either:
a. (preferred) use the "Add to Cart" button to make credit card or PayPal payment, or
b. write a check ($15/yr or $180 lifetime), made out to Pacific Planetarium Association Inc, and send it to Alan Gould, PPA Treasurer, 1256 Spruce St, Berkeley CA 94709. See our convenient self-mailer for sending a check. If you have special instructions (e.g. if you are paying for someone else's membership), be sure to email the PPA Treasurer (Alan Gould <adgould{~at~}comcast.net>) about that.
2. If you are renewing, check your public information in the membership list below. If you are becoming a new member or need to update your information in the membership list, contact the PPA Secretary and use the PPA Membership Update Form to enter or update your membership information. The form allows you to designate information for public posting separate from more private personal information.
