As a friendly reminder to Chapter and District Leaders, below is a brief tutorial on how to update the dues prices for your chapter or district for the upcoming year. If your chapter or district does not wish to change your dues prices, there is nothing else you need to do.
As a general reminder, it is not necessary to contact Society Headquarters to change your dues (Chapter or District) prices.
Guide to Changing Dues Rates
The following is a guide to changing dues rates if your chapter or district has voted to change the price of dues. A similar tutorial can be found online for:

- Districts by CLICKING HERE
Authorized officers for making changes to chapter level dues prices are a Chapter President, Secretary or Treasurer.
Authorized officers for making changes to district level dues prices are a District President, Secretary or Treasurer.
Due to the fact that we create invoices well in advance of due date, the following policy will be in effect:
URGENT – IF YOU WANT YOUR DUES TO CHANGE AS OF 1/1/2018
In order to implement dues rate changes that are expected to be effective 1/1/2018, the changes MUST be made before 11/1/2017 (more than 60 days in advance as has always been our practice). We will be running invoices for January in November and the amounts must be in the system prior to running the invoices.
Attempted changes with a start date within 60 days will not be accepted by the computer system.
PROCESS:
Log into the Member Center (http://members.barbershop.org) – your login will activate your permissions.
- Click Chapters and then My Chapters on towards the left-hand side.
- Click through to the Chapter you wish to update.
- After selecting the chapter, select Dues Pricing towards the left-hand side.
- You should see a screen similar to below:
The entries under Current Dues reflect the information that is currently recorded in the Member Center. This is live information.
Enter Changes by selecting Edit Dues towards the top of the screen.
- Click the Member Class that you'd like to edit.
- Ensure the duration is currently entered as Annual.
- Enter the new Price
- Enter/Select the New Effective Date
- Ensure that the status is set to Active.
- Press Submit
The new amount will then show in the Future Dues screen with a start date as noted. This will also put an end date on the current price for that Member Class. Changes will automatically become effective on the start date so changes should be made with great care.
