Annual Member Registration Form 2025-2026

We have a scaled dues structure, which recognizes the difference in financial means and professional budgets of religious educators working part- or full-time and a difference between new and longtime or credentialed religious educators. This helps to maintain equity and accessibility to the chapter for all, while also keeping our organization financially healthy and allowing us to continue our work.

Professional expenses for a religious educator should be about 10% of salary. Dues are calculated to be approximately 3% of your professional expenses. If your professional expenses aren't at the suggested level, or if your funds have already been budgeted for this year, please pay what seems appropriate for you. For our Canadian colleagues, please calculate your amount in US dollars then enter that in the custom amount field.

PNW Mentor Program

Our mentor program is arranged by our Board Vice President, Amy Brock. Mentors are frequently requested by those who are newer in their position or are facing a particular challenge or new direction and would like extra support. If you have a need for a mentor, regardless if you are new or have been serving your congregation for a while, please fill out the Mentee Application Form and Amy will get in touch.

If you have been a religious educator for a while or have a particular skill you could share, we would be delighted if you would apply to be a mentor by filling in the Mentor Application Form. If you have any questions about the mentor program, please email Amy at pnwdlredaboard@gmail.com.
