Finances

ISPRS is supported financially by four main membership categories: Ordinary Members, Associate Members, Regional Members, and Sustaining Members. All fees are payable on an annual basis.. It is the responsibility of each member to pay their full membership fee each year in Swiss Francs or the equivalent in USD or Euros. All banking fees at the originating bank are to be paid by the Member.
