HBC 2025 Membership

After much consideration, HBC has decided to change our membership cycle to begin January 1 of each year, rather than aligning our membership cycle with our fiscal year. We hope this will make things much easier for members, especially when determining whether your membership is current. For those of you who like to enter our exhibitions, it will also make it easier since you will be renewing your membership before filling out the intent to enter form, rather than after.

JOIN NOW! NEW MEMBERS GET 3 MONTHS FREE!

Sign up now and your HBC membership will be good from October through the end of the year in addition to all of 2025! That’s three free months!

Are you renewed for 2024? Not sure? you can log into your account to verify if you are current. Sign in
