Who We Are

Membership in the Society of Bead Researchers

There are four levels of membership: Individual, Sustaining, Patron, and Benefactor (see either the North America or the Overseas order forms for more information). All levels receive the same publications and benefits; the Sustaining, Patron, and Benefactor categories are simply intended to allow those who are in a position to donate larger amounts to the Society to do so. Complete sets and individual back issues of The Bead Forum and BEADS are available. Those living in Mexico, Canada or the United States, refer to the North American Order Form. Those living elsewhere, please use the Overseas Order Form.
