Membership Onboarding and Renewal Process

OEGlobal members pay an annual (January to December) membership fee based on the applicable category. The fees for a new member are prorated depending on the quarter the membership begins. Membership fee invoices are sent electronically and can be paid via bank transfer, check, or credit card.

Existing members receive an invoice by February for the current year’s membership. Payment is due on receipt. Requests for an extension on the payment due date can be made to our billing department as per the contact information given on the invoice.

Every 2-3 years OEGlobal reviews and adjusts membership fees. Changes to fees are communicated in advance to existing OEGlobal members.
