In 2001, Industrial Technology Design/Manual Arts (ITD/MA) teachers have the option of Joining INTAD either as an ordinary member or as part of a school site. It is important that teachers/HOD's who are thinking of joining as site members clearly understand the consequences of this.

The most important consequence of being part of a site membership is that only ONE Journal will be posted to the school site. In basic terms it costs about $20 per member to produce the Jounal at present. If potential members want their own copy of the INTAD Journal they should elect to become ordinary members and pay the appropriate membership fee (they should not register as a site member at their school site).

The second most important aspect of this membership is that it only covers those teachers who are registered (and whose fees are paid) at the school site. A site membership does not entitle ALL ITD/MA members at a school site to attend INTAD PD&T (at membership cost) and receive INTAD resources unless ALL Industrial Technology Design/Manual Arts teachers at the school site were registered.

This membership variation is only available to school sites;

A minimum of one teacher must be registered at each school site;

One teacher must be nominated as the INTAD representative at each school site; and another INTAD Journal will be provided for a site that has 3 or more site members

Provide email details for each site member applicant (provision is made on rear of membership application - available for you to download on this website).

Which teachers are covered at each school site?

Those teachers registered on the renewal notice when returned with correct payment.

Do all Industrial Design & Technology (Manual Arts) teachers at a school site have to be registered?

Definitely not - however unregistered teachers will have to pay full fees when attending INTAD organised inservice seminars and will not directly benefit from products or services provided by membership subscriptions.

What are the voting rights associated with this membership?

One vote per registered school teacher.

What is the proposed fee structure for school site membership?

A base fee to substantially cover the magazine/mailing costs and as set out on the current INTAD Membership form. This fee structure may be varied if required by a motion passed at any general meeting of INTAD.

How would the annual subscription be collected?

One way might be to include the base fee in the ITD/Manual Arts budget with each registered teacher personally paying their individual registration fee. Alternatively the school may decide to fully fund each teacher's individual registration fee from professional development funds and remit a single payment to INTAD.

What about receipts for tax purposes?

INTAD can only receipt the payments that we receive directly. If site member teachers wish to receive individual receipts then each will have to provide an individual payment (cheque) for the required amount.

How would site membership work?

One teacher would be nominated as the INTAD representative at each school site. Only one copy of the journal (and another INTAD Journal will be provided for a site that has 3 or more site members) and correspondence would be sent to each school site. Each registered school teacher would be able to obtain all INTAD products and services and attend INTAD inservice at discounted membership rates.

Can I remain an individual member of INTAD?

Yes - continue to pay the individual membership subscription (see current membership form) and you will receive your own copy of the Journal and all correspondence (don't register as part of a site membership).

What happens if, as a site member, I am transferred to a centre that does not have site membership?

Contact INTAD and we will change your membership status to an individual membership until the next renewal period.

Site membership attempts to give members the opportunity to be involved in their subject area's future.
