Membership Onboarding and Renewal Process
OEGlobal members pay an annual membership fee (January to December) based on their category. The fees for a new member are prorated based on the quarter in which the membership begins. Membership fee invoices are sent electronically and can be paid via bank transfer, check, or credit card.
Existing members receive an invoice by February for the current year’s membership. Payment is due on receipt. Requests to extend the payment due date can be submitted to our billing department via the contact information on the invoice.
Every 2-3 years, OEGlobal reviews and adjusts membership fees. Changes to fees are communicated in advance to existing OEGlobal members.
