If I join and pay now,
what period of time is covered? Joining ARDA during the
current fiscal year, you would only receive an invoice for the balance
reflecting the period from the end of your first year to the end of the
current billing period, September 30. In all cases, you would be
credited one full calendar year for your initial membership
I just received an invoice but I joined less than a year
ago – why is that? ARDA’s fiscal year runs from
October 1 – September 30 and so the invoice brings you current for
the rest of the fiscal year.
