| The International Plant Propagators' Society is an organization
of persons engaged in propagation of plants and/or in teaching, research,
or extension, or other fields related to plant propagation. Its members
are required to share freely such knowledge and experience in plant
propagation as they may have or acquire. All members are required
to attend a regional annual meeting or other Society-sponsored meeting
at least once every four years, or, in lieu of attendance, contribute
a paper for the Region's newsletter, like 'The North American Plant
Propagator'.
Memberships are processed at the regional level, with dues being
allocated to both international and regional expenses.
Contact the Regional
Secretary / Treasurer in your area of the
world for membership information and applications.
You may also review the list of
International
Officers, International
Directors and Alternates to
see if one lives in your area.
New members receive a membership lapel pin and, after five continuous
years of membership, a Society wall plaque. In addition, copies of
old issues of the Combined Proceedings are still available. Contact
the International Secretary to obtain availability and prices for
these volumes.

availability of proceedings, or other general questions

New in 2008
At-Large membership has been added as a new category of
membership for those individuals who are not within the geographic
boundaries of an existing region. This action by the International Board
of Directors is in response to many inquiries from plant propagators,
plant producers, researchers, nursery owners, and others with an
interest in IPPS and its vast collection of plant production
information.
As an at-large member, you will receive the following benefits:
-
the current volume of the Combined Proceedings
as part of the annual membership, usually sent in September –
available in a printed book of approximately 700 pages, or a CD.
-
access to the Members Only area of the IPPS website
where you can obtain contact information on members from other
regions, utilize the membership message board, and read other
information reserved for members, and
-
inclusion in a listing for at-large members in a
separate membership section on the website.
-
the opportunity to purchase previous issues of the
Combined Proceedings, not available to non-members.
At-large members are welcome to attend any of the
conferences sponsored by any of the current IPPS regions, paying the
same registration fees as members of that region. In addition, at-large
members are invited to submit a paper for inclusion in the Combined
Proceedings each year, in a separate category within the publication
reserved for non-presented papers. The International Editor will
establish the guidelines and timeline for submission of such papers.
Membership Dues are for the calendar year, from January 1 through
December 31 of each year. Dues are not prorated since you will receive a
copy of the Combined Proceedings for each year in which dues are paid.
Those who join October 1 or later will be “rolled over” to the next
calendar membership year and receive only the Combined Proceedings
distributed in that next year.
Annual membership dues are dependent upon which format you prefer to
receive the Combined Proceedings, as follows:
-
Membership with Combined Proceedings in bound book
format for $90 USD
-
Membership with Combined Proceedings in CD format
for $70 USD
-
Membership with Combined Proceedings in BOTH bound
book and CD formats for $110 USD
