New rates and membership options available as of July 1, 2016

We’re implementing some changes, starting just a month from now, so this is your official heads-up!

As of July 1, 2016, we’re officially rolling out new membership options and increasing our basic membership rate by just $5/year. This is the last in a series of planned updates, which have slowly brought the List out of the realm of the start-up.  The new rate structure will help us grow our reach and offer new opportunities for organizations and the vocal community in general, and to better serve our professional members.  Here’s a basic rundown:

New membership levels

Organization membership:  This was first announced on the website last month, and is a great deal for arts orgs and service businesses of any size (but particularly small ensembles), allowing them to join, get more exposure and featured placement, and even some advertising as part of the package.  This standard rate for this level will be $150/year, but we’re offering an introductory rate of $120/year through August, so local presenters can get in on the ground floor and get their profiles set up before the new season begins.  (In other words, grab it now!) Details of perks and benefits are available on our Access Options page.

Community membership:  This brand-new membership level will allow anyone in the SoCal classical vocal community to support the List and get some member benefits, regardless of professional eligibility.  These members will not have access to the professional job listings and other resources reserved for our professional members, but for just $24/yr, they’ll get their own weekly updates, member discounts and other perks.  This option will be launched on July 1st, and is designed for students, vocal buffs, and anyone, pro or otherwise, who wants to support the List and be a more active part of the vocal community in general.  Stay tuned for more details.

New rates

We’re raising the annual membership fee by just a few bucks, and are guaranteeing this new rate through at least 2020.  We’re also introducing a monthly option for Individual/Pro members, making smaller payments available for those who need them.  (The annual rates are, however, significantly cheaper overall.)  Here’s a list of the new rates, effective 7/1/16:

Streamlining

Our less popular options, the List-Only Membership and the Spouse Membership, are no longer available.  Any members currently enjoying these options may continue under the same terms through their 2017 expiration dates, if they wish.

Consider joining now

Current rates will be available through June 30, 2016.  Of course, further changes may be made with or without notice, but we’re making a special effort to notify our members and users of the coming update, so those who wish to join now have an ample chance to renew or sign up using the existing rate structure.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions, and as always, thank you for being part of our community!
