BSCB member-at-large dues are $15. If you are not also a member of a chapter (see below), this is what you should pay. Our organization is funded entirely from member dues and donations. Member dues cover less than 10 percent of our operating costs. A portion of the dues you pay to BSCB is used to pay your dues to the American Council of the Blind. BSCB is a volunteer membership organization with no paid employees.
Our four regional chapters are:
- Charles River Chapter
- Boston Chapter
- South Shore Chapter
- Central Massachusetts Chapter
Our special interest chapter is:
- Guide Dog Users of Massachusetts (affiliated with Guide Dog Users International)
If you belong to any of these chapters, you can pay your annual dues to one of the chapter treasurers, or complete the dues form linked on this page. If you do not belong to a chapter, you are a Member At Large and you can either pay your annual dues to Nick Corbett, BSCB Treasurer via check, or complete the dues form linked on this page.
Our membership calendar runs from January 1 to December 31, but you can pay at any time to become a member. Members should pay dues by mid-February to ensure the fullest BSCB voting representation at the ACB national convention in July.
BSCB Member At Large dues are $15 a year. The preferred payment methods are PayPal and Credit or Debit Card.
