Bulk Dues Program
Companies and SPE Sections can take advantage of SPE’s web-based program to automate bulk invoicing. Bulk Dues program participants are exempt from earning the Century Club award.
Benefits
This timesaving system allows your company or Section to:
- Pay for all of your SPE members in one invoice.
- Stop processing numerous expense reports.
- Reduce multiple bank fees and currency conversions.
- Receive a receipt to match the invoice.
- Include journal subscriptions.
- Collect dues in local currency and submit one payment to SPE.
- Help ensure your employees stay active in SPE.
- Host a membership drive and submit multiple new members at one time.
If your organization would like to use this service, register now and you’ll be on your way.
After You Register
You’ll receive a confirmation email and access to the site from a new link added to your spe.org profile page. From there you’ll review your list of members and make any additions or deletions. When you’re satisfied with your list, the system will generate an invoice for you to submit with payment.

Note: SPE must receive all payments on or before 29 December to allow for processing time and prevent a lapse in member benefits.
Beginning with the 2026 membership renewal term, we will implement the following change to help ensure uninterrupted member benefits for your employees and reduce SPE administrative overhead associated with ongoing dues collection efforts:
Key Changes
Renewal Deadline – No Change
Membership renewal payments remain due by 31 December each year.
New Administrative Fee Structure (Applies to invoices paid after 31 January):
- 1 February – 3% Fee
- March forward- 5% Fee
We are committed to keeping the Bulk Dues process efficient and beneficial for all participants.
