The easiest way to join is through our website below. If you prefer to pay by check, please make the check payable to "Colorado PELA" and mail it to PELA's treasurer, Patricia Bellac at 4845 Pearl East Circle, Suite 101, Boulder, Colorado 80301.
*Note that our memberships run from January 1 through December 31. All memberships expire at the end of the calendar year regardless of when you join.*
PLEASE NOTE: No portion of Colorado PELA membership dues is tax deductible as a charitable contribution. 50% of every attorney’s membership dues will directly fund Colorado PELA’s lobbying efforts so that PELA remains an active participant in legislative activities that affect employees; that portion of your dues is therefore NOT tax deductible. The remainder of members’ dues may be tax deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense. Please consult your tax advisor for further guidance as deductibility may depend on individual circumstances.
