As we approach the end of the year, we want to thank you for your continued dedication to the OPBA community. Our strength comes from our members — and as OPBA grows, that becomes more evident every year.
We’re excited for everything 2026 has in store and hope you’ll join us for another year of learning, collaboration, and professional growth.
Your 2026 dues invoice is available, ensuring your membership remains in good standing through December 31, 2026.
How to Pay Your Dues
You should have already received an email with the subject line “OPBA Membership Renewal Notice.” It includes a Pay Dues button and a secure payment link.
You can also access your invoice anytime through your member profile:
Billing Info → Pay Membership Dues/Fees
If you haven’t received your renewal notice, please contact us and we’ll resend it.
What’s New for 2026
We recognize that budgets remain tight across the public sector, and we’re committed to helping member and associate dollars go further. For 2026, we’re introducing several updates:
- No dues increase for 2026.
In September 2025, the Board of Directors voted to maintain 2025 membership rates in recognition of ongoing financial pressures. - New group membership discounts.
Two additional Individual tiers (21–40 and 41+ employees) now offer deeper savings for larger teams within the same agency. - Prorated dues for new members.
Public agencies adding new team members between May and October will receive prorated dues for those individuals (applicable only to first-time members, not to lapsed or renewing members).
