Dues-Paying Members Get Perks!
It’s a fact. Dues-paying Chapter members receive benefits that non dues-paying Chapter members don’t.

Well, all of these benefits can be yours by sending in your Washington D.C./Baltimore Alumni Chapter dues today.
As a dues-paying Chapter member, you’ll receive discounted rates to most Chapter events, first preference at limited seating events, and you’ll be supporting Chapter initiatives. Dues enable your local Chapter to continue offering the best career networking events, unique cultural events, and member exclusive communications. You’ll also enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you’re helping to defray the costs associated with bringing you top tier Chapter events and communications.
