Membership Frequently Asked Questions

Membership Dues 

Annual dues are payable on the member’s anniversary date. Continued membership and its privileges are contingent on being up-to-date with membership dues for all categories of membership: regular, family, contributing and institutional. Here are a few FAQs that explain how our membership process works.

What is an Anniversary Date?

DGS is on an “anniversary date” basis for membership. This is similar to joining a health club or subscribing to your local newspaper – it begins when you join/subscribe and typically goes for one year.

I am ready to join. What does this mean to me?

As a new member, your membership will take effect on the day you join and will last for 12 months.

Will we get a renewal email a month before the due date?

Yes, we will send notifications to members whose memberships are about to expire.

What are my payment options?

For your convenience at checkout, we offer credit card payments:

  • Credit Card
    • DGS uses the Stripe secure gateway at checkout. No account is needed
    • No additional fees to you
