What should I expect when I fill out a membership application?

After you have submitted your online Tripartite membership application, you will receive a confirmation of application submission. The ISDA will review your application and verify your Idaho license status before approving your membership application.

Once your application has been approved, you will receive a dues statement to the email you provided. The most accessible way to pay your dues is through the link in the email but you are also welcome to mail in payment to the ISDA as well.

After your payment is processed, you will receive a "Welcome Packet" full of information about being a member and will start to receive communications about your local component meetings.
