• Scale applies to both Org Individual and Org Group, initiation fee waived.
Reasons for Dues Increase
• Inflation generally ranges from 2%-3% annually
in the U.S. Rather than raise dues annually, we
make one adjustment every 3-5 years.
• Compare dues to other similar associations. We
compare favorably with similar individual
membership associations.
