Membership

There are four categories of membership in The Central Florida Watercolor Society, Full, Corporate, Life and Honorary.

Full Membership is available to anyone age 18 or older, whose dues are paid up to date. These members are permitted to vote and are authorized to hold office. Full membership has three categories.

Regular Members - which are members who have paid their annual dues of $35 for a single year. 

Life members who have paid the required one-time fee of $300 for Life Membership within one membership year

Charter Members which are those who paid their initial dues before January 1, 1999.

Corporate Membership shall be available to any business or corporation as approved by the Board for membership. Corporate members are not permitted to vote or hold office. Corporate members may allow their employees to attend meetings and other functions of the Society, as well as receive the newsletter. These members are entitled to various other benefits as become available and as the Board determines suitable.

Honorary Membership shall be awarded to persons as a measure of esteem and respect by the membership of the Society. This is an expression of honor and carries with it no voting rights or other benefits which are due to full members.

For more information about joining The Central Florida Watercolor Society contact Nancy McCarthy, Membership Chairman, or CFWS. Members receive an annual directory and a newsletter published monthly from August thru April.
