Membership Year

The membership year for all members is determined by the calendar quarter in which initial dues payments were received. These memberships extend through the end of the same calendar quarter of the following year as the quarter in which the initial dues were paid. That is, the membership year of a member who joins the FEBT in January, February, or March will end on March 31 of the following year; the membership year of a member who joins in April, May, or June will end on June 30 of the following year; the membership year of a member who joins in July, August, or September will end on September 30 of the following year; and the membership year of a member who joins in October, November, or December will end on December 31 of the following year. Continuously renewed memberships will maintain this pattern.

Membership Year and FEBT Publications

Regardless of when a FEBT member’s membership year starts and ends, he or she will receive all issues of Timber Transfer and all FEBT print periodicals issued during the twelve-month period of membership.

Complimentary Mailings

Individuals and organizations who receive FEBT publications and other mailings on a complimentary basis are not members of the FEBT, and do not qualify for any membership-based privileges. Organizations with whom cooperative promotion agreements are in effect receive FEBT publications and other mailings on a complimentary basis but do not qualify for any membership-based privileges.
