What are Chapter Dues Rebates?
Professional chapters and university chapters receive a percentage of dues for every member who joins or renews during the period covered. When an international chapter's dues rebates reach $200 or more, IISE will wire the money to the chapter.
University Chapters
- Rebate monies are distributed twice a year.
- September monies are for January through August activity.
- January monies are for September through December activity.
- Only green and yellow chapters are eligible to receive dues rebates. Rebates for red chapters are withheld until the minimum requirements have been met.
Professional Chapters
- Rebate monies are distributed three times a year:
- January through April - distributed in May
- May through August - distributed in September
- September through December - distributed in January
- Only chapters with green or yellow status are eligible to receive dues rebate. Red chapters' rebates are withheld for one pay period until the minimum requirements have been met
If you have any questions about the status of your chapter or the requirements, or if you are interested in helping to
