Invoicing Policy
Membership invoices are automatically sent by email to both the main contact and administrative contact on file for the organization. As a small, non-profit organization with a fully remote team, we strive to keep administrative overhead low. As a consequence, we are unable to meet requests to send invoices by hardcopy or submit via supplier portals or procurement systems. We appreciate your understanding of this policy.
