The Izaak Walton League of America – a non-profit conservation organization – is recognized as a Section 501(c)(3) public charity under the Internal Revenue Code.  Minimum national dues are $36 for individual and $54 for family memberships, which includes $4 for Outdoor America magazine.  Magazine is inseparable from dues.  Chapter and Division dues may vary.

Note: This application is not your membership renewal form. An individual membership is $112; a family membership is $140. Dues are voted on every year in August and take effect in October—if you aren’t sure of the dues please contact the membership director before signing up new members (yes, this is YOUR responsibility as a sponsor). If you have any questions, please contact the membership director. If you are unsure of the differences for the memberships, please contact the membership committee (e-mail address is on the left-hand side of this page). Please contact the membership committee regarding prices or questions. Local records are checked—if you were a member during 2009 you are considered a renewing member in 2010 and your renewal cost is $112 (individual) or $140 (family) regardless of when you renew in 2010. National enforces this rule—it is not a rule exclusively for our chapter; this rule applies to all chapters.
