The PLTA is a member driven organization. As such the board is anxious to make its services as available to llama lovers as possible. To do so they have completely revised the fee schedule for memberships. This schedule goes into immediate effect. Youth groups, individuals and businesses are now given consideration for their needs. We hope this adjustment serves the llama community well.

Associate memberships

An associate membership is applied on an annual basis. It allows an individual to participate in events without having the rights and privileges of a full member. It is designed solely for the purpose of providing insurance coverage for persons participating in PLTA sanctioned events.

Associate. $10.00 per year. 

This covers a single individual.

Full memberships

Full memberships are applied on an annual basis. Membership also allows a member to participate in all PLTA events, host events, and petition to become a PLTA certifier. Members may have their contact and business information posted on the PLTA website. Members have the right to, and are encouraged to participate in, PLTA decisions.

Full membership is required in order to register lamas with the PLTA. Registered llamas are then allowed to participate in PLTA programs. Participation in those programs is tracked in the PLTA database, and publicized on the PLTA website and in the Pack Animal Magazine. Certifications earned by the animal are also listed on the International Lama Registry database for lamas registered with them. 

Youth Club.  $50.00 per year.

Designed specifically for 4H or other youth organizations, this membership allows club members to join as a group. The membership applies to up to 2 group leaders and 10 children under the age of 18. All individuals included in application for this membership must be regular members of the youth group. These individuals’ names must be reported to the PLTA. Changes to the list can be made throughout the year. Each person listed will become a full member of the PLTA with all rights and responsibilities.

Individual Youth.   $10.00 per year.

This allows an individual under the age of 18 to join separately from a family or youth group.

Individual Adult.  $20.00 per year. 

This allows an individual 18 years of age or older to join the PLTA.

Family.  $30.00 per year.

This membership remains as currently defined. It includes two adults and any children under the age of 18 that live under the same roof. Names of family members must be reported to the PLTA. Each person listed will become a full member of the PLTA with all rights and responsibilities.

Introductory Family Membership.  $20.00 per year.

This is a one-time, first year offer for those families who are considering joining the PLTA. At the beginning of the second year, a regular family membership of $30.00 per year will be required.

Business. $70.00 per year.

Specifically designed for business owners, this membership includes up to three individuals who are either owners of the business or are closely associated with the business. Names of business members must be reported to the PLTA. Each person listed will become a full member of the PLTA with all rights and responsibilities.
