Attention Existing Members! Our consortium plan provides a way for existing members to reduce their dues and at the same time not shrink our revenue. This is accomplished by asking existing members to encourage new or inactive members to join them in a consortium. HRAF will only approve a consortium if the combined annual dues and fees from the consortium members exceed the aggregate of annual dues and fees paid by individual members in the previous year.
Please contact HRAF for terms and conditions. Please note that HRAF will consider separate billing. All IP addresses for the consortium need to be submitted at the same time. IP hook-up is contingent on payment of dues and fees for the entire consortium.
