New Dues for NCGR
By Donna Woodwell, Membershp Director
NCGR last raised its membership dues in early 2003. Since then, postage rates have increased three times, and the cost of paper and printing has also risen . At the same time, NCGR has increased our range of services to our members by creating an online store as well as a weekly electronic newsletter (Enews Commentary and Around the World from NCGR).
In order to continue to provide quality publications and other services to the astrological community, the NCGR board voted in March to increase the individual annual U.S. dues rate from $45 to $55, effective July 1, 2008. New rates for couples and international members are listed in the box.
To help our members save time and costs, NCGR has added a special three-year discounted rate of $150, or $50/year. The three-year rate will NCGR reduce administrative expenses; we would like to pass the savings on to our members.
NCGR will continue to provide our members with three easy ways to renew - by mail, by phone and online. The next round of dues renewal reminder envelopes sent by mail will include the dues increase. If you have any questions about the dues increase, please click here

NCGR
The National
Council for Geocosmic Research, Inc., (NCGR) is a
non-profit organization dedicated to raising the standards of
astrological education and research. Though it began as "national,"
NCGR's current membership of about 2500 includes a growing number of
international members. The organization's activities include sponsoring
local Chapters (currently
42 located in 26 states and 4 countries). Additionally, several Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
cross wide geographical areas to foster dialogue among people of
similar astrological specialties.
Professionally certified astrologers
among NCGR members have passed all four levels of an education
and testing program based on a comprehensive curriculum widely
respected for its excellence and rigor. Though there is no requirement
that NCGR members be practicing astrologers, over 1000 members have
participated in the testing program at Level 1 or above and momentum is
growing. A Code of Ethics,
to which members are accountable, provides guidance for the practice of
astrology.
NCGR annually sponsors an educational conference,
and publishes two issues of its magazine
Geocosmic Journal plus six newsletters, Memberletter. A
variety of other publications are produced intermittently, and tapes of
conference lectures are also offered.
NCGR dues will go up on July 1st, but if you renew before that date, you can do so at the old rate. Even if it's not time for you to renew, doing so now will save you money.
Professors of religion, professional astrologers, habitual skeptics, the AFA, and Kepler College all join in the discussion of what astrology is and who should - or shouldn't - study it.
Christine Skinner is one of a growing, albeit secretive, network of astrologers who work for seemingly conservative British institutions such as high street banks, City investment funds and retailers.
