How to Join or Renew Your Membership: Three Steps

Step 1. CREATE YOUR MEMBERSHIP PROFILE

If you are new to BAEF or if your membership has lapsed, begin by filling out our online membership profile. Make sure you then complete Step 2.

If you are renewing your membership go straight to Step 2.

NOTE: New membership in BAEF is open to Bay Area individuals only; memberships in the name of a company rather than an individual will not be accepted.

Step 2. PAY YOUR ANNUAL DUES

After you have submitted your new membership profile, send $15 to cover annual membership dues. To pay online by debit/credit card (we use PayPal), select either "new membership" or "renew membership" from the drop-down menu below, enter your phone number in the entry field, then click the Pay Now button.

NOTE: You don't need a PayPal account to use PayPal. When you click the Pay Now button below and land on the PayPal page, there's no need to log in. Just skip down to Don't have a PayPal account? Use your credit card or bank account. and click Continue. If you ever get an error message on the PayPal page, try a second time, and let us know if there's a problem.
