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.
