Family Unit Dues Info |

From the Minutes of Governing Board (Aug 2006)
R/C Horowitz invited V/C Baldridge to present a proposal to simplify the dues categories to two: single and family unit. V/C Baldridge explained that the current dues structure is complicated with different amounts charged for active, additional active, adult family and junior family members. Under the proposed structure, a single member would pay full dues, and a family unit, including all of the members of a family sharing a household, would pay full dues plus 50 percent regardless of the number of members in the unit. He said that simplification is a goal in itself, but the new structure would also encourage more family members to join and become active.
The national secretary stated that family unit members who had taken the boating class could automatically become active members and family unit members who had not taken the class could become family members. The selling point would be that the whole family can join for just 50 percent more. He said that although the proposal is for national dues only, it is hoped that squadrons and districts would adjust their dues structures to mirror national.
R/C Horowitz proposed the following motion:That the dues amount for primary active, sustaining and life members with attached family or additional active members be set to the amount of the same category without attached members plus 50 percent of the current dues amount for regular active members. Further, that the dues amount for family and additional active members be set to zero.
The Governing Board ADOPTED the motion.The following resources are available to help understand the new dues structure:
