Website
Can I register and pay for the annual meeting or pay my dues, by mailing a 'business' or 'personal' check?
Yes, HOWEVER, there is a $25.00 handling fee, (please add this to your payment if you prefer a paper check) for those not paying ONLINE through the ASFO website. You may pay by mail at the ASFO address but this will delay your account activation. Credit, Debit Cards and virtual check payments are all accepted through PayPal.
I cannot access any of the member benefits - even after I log in.
This probably means that your membership has elasped. You will have a membership status indicator on your members page – if this shows expired, click the “Pay Dues” button and pay online for this year’s membership. If you a have receipt for payment for the current year notify the executive director.
I don't have a PayPal account - can I still pay for my membership and meeting dues online?
Yes – signing up for a PayPal account is optional – you just need to enter your name and shipping address, then you will be prompted for your credit card, email address, and phone number.
