New! GroupPay

The GroupPay program is designed to allow for an easy payment from a single invoice for all employees within an organization. Memberships are still individual to the employee, and cannot be transferred within the organization. Primary contact at the organization must be identified and will have access to a special online portal to view employee members and select which ones they wish to be invoiced for.  If employees have left the organization, the primary contact can remove them from the list. 

    • Primary Contact can view the annual complimentary selected benefit of their employees.
    • Chapter dues may be paid alongside Society dues for the group or left up to the individual to pay directly to the Chapter. 
    • Organization can benefit from 10% off the full dues rate when 5 or more employees join as a new member at once.  Current dues rate will be charged for renewals.   

Email GroupPay@ashrae.org to get started.
