The Member Fee is a one-time fee paid to become a member of Informed Beginnings™ under our Shared Services Cooperative structure.  You become and continue to be a voting Member and part-owner of the organization, with profit share rights when in good standing with the cooperative (dues are paid annually).
 
The $100 Fee will be returned if/when you retire in good standing from Informed Beginnings; you may donate this back to Informed Beginnings or have the membership fee returned to you.
