Good things happen in May, including the IBRBS Early Bird window for the 2025-2026 membership period, effective October 1, 2025 – September 30, 2026. Great news – member dues remain unchanged, at $32.50 for the next membership cycle. Here’s how the Early Bird works.
- If you are currently a Full member, you can renew your 2025-2026 membership now instead of waiting until August/September.
- If you are currently an Associate member, you can renew your 2025-2026 membership as a Full member with all the benefits, services, and privileges that come with IBRBS membership.
- If you are a past member, you can renew now, with membership through September 30, 2026 (up to six months additional membership period).
- If you share this with a colleague who is not currently an IBRBS member, they can join now with membership through September 30, 2026 (up to six months additional membership period).
The Member Benefits page details all the current benefits and services, including subsidized background checks, discounted entertainers’ liability insurance, scholarships to Christmas performer schools, an opportunity to volunteer on a committee that will help to shape the future of IBRBS, opportunity to vote for the Board of Directors, discounted fee to GigSalad, and so much more.
IBRBS is changing for you, and with you. As a member-driven organization, we are looking forward to growing our support for members and Chapters, growing our volunteer base to be more responsive, and growing the benefits and services you need as Christmas professionals. You can look for more about what IBRBS is working on in the coming weeks.
If you have any questions about the Early Bird window, you can send a note to Membership@IBRBS.org.
Regards,
Howard Bristow, Membership Chair and
James Kelly, CEO/President, and your Membership Team
