After a year and a half inexistence, ParaNexus isemerging as a reputable,respected, and groundedassociation of anomalousresearchers. Recentmonths have brought aboutsignificant and positivechanges to ParaNexus. Wehave incorporated as a non-profit association and arefiling for our 501(c)(3) taxexempt status with the IRSin the next few days (ourapplication is currently being reviewed by pro-fessionals for completeness). We have addedsome additional individuals to the Board ofDirectors who have demonstrated a groundedand rational approach to anomalous research.We now have eight Board Members with im-pressive academic, paranormal, and life-skillscredentials who have accepted the weightyresponsibility of providing direction and visionto ParaNexus in the months and years to come. Infact, some Board Members have been asked to consulton potential documentary projects for popular andwell-known scientific TV channels.
With ParaNexus‟ future in mind, the Board of Direc-
tors has decided to bring membership dues in linewith other associations in the broad field of anoma-lous research. Most associations in the field have duesthat range from around $45 to over $100 annually with$55 - $65 being common. Most professional associa-tions outside the paranormal field charge well over$100 for annual membership dues. Membership duesare a primary method that most associations use forfinancial support of their charitable missions,ParaNexus included.Therefore, effective December
1, 2009, ParaNexus‟ annual
memberships will be $59, andmonthly membership subscrip-tions will be $6.50. All currentannual and monthly members
