My lab/company has multiple locations. Is a separate membership required for each location?

Yes. Cal-Lab recognizes the “doorknob policy" which means that each location must have a separate membership.

Am I paying "dues" OR "attendance fees"?

Dues are just that...dues. Dues are based on a calendar year, January 1 through December 31.  Upon two complimentary registrations is a membership benefit.

What if I cannot attend the annual meeting?  Do I still need to pay my dues?

Yes.  Dues are fees that are nonrefundable and are paid to be a part of the Cal-Lab Group all year long.  Dues are also contractual and continue to accrue until cancelled in writing by the member.  Attending the annual meeting is a membership benefit.

What if my membership has lapsed for less than one year?

Membership benefits are terminated on January 1.  If you did not cancel your membership in writing, unpaid dues remain on your account for a full year.  To reinstate your membership, outstanding balances must be paid.

What if my membership has lapsed for more than one year?

Dues are payable on a calendar year basis.  If membership lapses for over one year, there is a $200 fee to reinstate / reactivate your membership starting on January 1, 2009.

Now that I’m a member, when will I be billed for dues?

Dues are invoiced in late November or early December and are payable by December 31st.

 

I have a friend that would like to join Cal-Lab Group.  Is a membership application available?

Yes.  A membership application is available online or you may call the Cal-Lab Group office (336-835-9251) for an applicable to be faxed, e-mailed, or mailed.
