Membership
There are different membership categories which one can apply to - membership fees are organized accordingly.
Voting members are Fellow members, Professional members and Associate members. The Fellow members are members who are deemed to have excelled in contributing to the Architectural Lighting Design profession and to PLDA. Professional members are those who own an independent practice or work in an independent practice, and have a certain number of years of experience in lighting design. The same applies to Associate members, except their number of years' experience is less.
Non-voting members are Design members (independent, but with little or no experience as an independent designer), Student members and Affiliate members. Affiliate members are those who are not full time lighting designers, but are very interested in lighting design or need it for their profession.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
