Volunteering

TIARA is only as good as its volunteers. You do not necessarily have to live in the Boston area or attend meetings to volunteer your time and talent. Please review the Survey of Member Volunteer Interests to see how you can help.

Dues

Our dues are $20.00 per year for individuals and organizations, $30.00 per year for a family membership. Membership runs from January through December. Due to higher mailing costs, Canadian and overseas memberships are priced accordingly, payable in U.S. funds by postal order.
