Apply for Membership 2025–2026
Apply for Membership at LTI
This application is to be completed to become either a provisional member, a parent member of LTI or to renew your status as parent member of Light, Truth & Intelligence Educational Commonwealth. For brand new members, scheduling an interview with two governing board members is the next step after completing the membership application.
Payment of membership dues of $55 is payable immediately to secure your membership. Membership dues contribute to the operating costs of the non-profit organization such as registering with the Nevada Secretary of State and communications fees, etc. LTI’s 2025–2026 classes will be held on Wednesdays starting at 9:30 am in north Carson City beginning in August 2025.
Per our provisional bylaws, membership dues are required before the annual member meeting in April to renew your membership and be eligible to vote and be considered for elected or appointed positions within LTI.
Membership dues are non-refundable. Participation fees are refundable within the first 14 days after the first day of our commonwealth at a prorated amount less the cost of supplies purchased.
You can pay membership fees online with a small fee or via check directly to the Admin VP.
