At the 2005 annual meeting, the IFGA decided to change and update its membership requirements. In the past, membership to the IFGA was limited to clubs; individuals could not be members of the IFGA. Given the widespread use of computers and electronic messaging, the IFGA is now able to change and expand its membership structure and membership benefits. Individuals are now invited to join the IFGA, effective January 1, 2006 and will receive the following benefits:

Access to the ‘members-only’ portion of the web site, which will include:

     IFGA Ebulletin

     IFGA Library

     IFGA Forum

Member Eligibility for:
     IFGA Annual Awards and Master Breeder recognition
     IFGA Judging Seminars and Tests

     IFGA Judging Credentials
     IFGA Office
     Listing in the Guppy Store

     These benefits will be available for membership dues of $25 per year, the previous cost of a second class subscription.
 

     The new ebulletin will be much improved, with more pictures of guppies and their breeders, as well as original articles by your favorite writers. Show results, competitive standings and other basic information will still be on the public web site, open to all.         

     In order to receive the monthly password allowing access to the "Members-Only" portion of the web site (where the IFGA ebulletin will be displayed) membership dues and a completed application form must be sent to the IFGA Treasurer.  Access passwords will be updated and e-mailed to members monthly and the bulletins will remain on the web site for one (1) year. The 'members-only' section will also include many of the specialty articles by top breeders over the years.

   
     To join or renew your membership by USPS Mail, please send your name, address, phone number and most importantly your email address along with a check or money order for $25 payable to the IFGA to:

It is critical that you include your email address in order to receive monthly password changes.

     You may also join or renew your membership online by using Pay Pal to electronically pay your membership dues and provide your enrollment data.

*All personal contact information will be kept confidential

and will not be shared, sold or otherwise

used for anything outside of the IFGA.
