IPEd from 1 July 2016 – what can you expect?

This page contains important information about changes to the Society of Editors (WA) Inc. For other news, events and options, please click this button

From 1 July 2016, the members of state-based societies of editors that supported the IPEd transition will become direct members of IPEd. This includes Society of Editors (WA). Transfer of membership records is currently underway.

The new IPEd membership system, MemNet, will have an online member portal on the IPEd website that members will be able to use to:

  • review and update personal records
  • renew and pay subscriptions
  • book and pay for events
  • subscribe to the Editors Directory (ED), if eligible, and enter and maintain directory information
  • access members-only information.

At the same time, these societies of editors become branches of IPEd and will continue to organise events, member meetings, training and mentoring activities much the same way as the societies did. Events and meetings will be promoted on the branch websites but with bookings and payments handled by IPEd.

Renewing your membership
As a member of IPEd, we will keep the same membership renewal date as we had in our society. For members in Western Australia, the next renewal date will be 31 January 2017.  On this date, we will be sent a renewal notice from IPEd and will be able to renew our membership using the MemNet online portal.

WA members will receive a credit against the IPEd subscription fee for the unexpired portion of our membership (that is, until 31 January 2017). The new IPEd fee may be higher than our society fee, requiring a pro-rate top-up fee for the balance of the IPEd subscription for the year. We will receive an invoice indicating the top-up fee. The WA committee is considering ways to subsidise our members for this top-up amount.

More detail regarding the above is available in the ‘Your Transition questions answered’ document on the IPEd website.

Editors Directory (ED)
The records of the freelance registers and databases from the societies of editors will be transferred to IPEd and, soon after 1 July, the national Editors Directory (for professional members only) will be created. This will be publicly available on the IPEd website. The branches of IPEd will maintain their freelance registers until the ED has been developed to ensure a consistent online presence for freelancers.
