NZEI membership subcriptions

NZEI's Annual Meeting 2011 decided to change the NZEI Te Riu Roa membership subscriptions. Annual Meeting attendees voted in favour of an increase to subscriptions, to reflect the impact of inflation and GST increases since it was last adjusted in 2008. The new subscription rates were effective from 1 November 2011.

Please refer to the rate card to ensure you are paying the correct subscription amount.
