If there were a lifetime membership, it must be more than $350. The Registry doesn't make much on membership. If you freeze the annual cost of membership at $350 for a lifetime, the Registry will be losing money in just a few years, due to the cost of goods and G&A expense. I think it needs to be on the order of $1,000.00 or greater.

Insofar as extra perks for a lifetime member, I don't agree. I think a lifetime member should be exactly the same as a Regular Member, only the dues are paid up forever.

I will remind all, that A Lifetime Member is already defined in the bylaws and it is much different than the concept being discussed here. Conceptually, a new name needs to be created, such as but certainly not limited to "Forever Member" or "Member for Life" to avoid any confusion with Lifetime Member as it appears in the bylaws.
