Membership Subscriptions

There is no joining fee to become a member of the Union although members are required to pay an annual membership subscription fee in order to maintain their membership status.

The Union operates a subscription scale which requires members to pay varying annual subscription fees based upon the type and size (in terms of assets) of their organisation. The subscription scale of the Unions membership is found in the IUHF Membership Application Form. If you are uncertain to identify where your organisation fits into the subscription scale, the IUHF Secretariat is happy to help you.
