PBA’s Membership Committee shall review all membership applications and follow-up with any additional information required before forwarding the application to the Board for final consideration. All applications shall be considered pending until such time as the board approves or denies membership. Membership dues shall be collected in advance; if a membership is denied, dues shall be refunded in full.

Contributions or gifts to PBA are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. Dues payments are, however, deductible by members as an ordinary and necessary business expense, subject to exclusion for lobbying activity.
