The annual Charter Membership fee is $1,000 in addition to whatever the level of WISE membership a person otherwise has. Thus, regardless of whether one is a Corporate, Company or General member of WISE, Charter Membership is an additional $1,000. Non-members of WISE wishing to become a Charter member, can become a General member of WISE for $500, receiving all the benefits of this level and then would sign up as a Charter member in addition.
