MEMBERSHIP DUES
Annual board dues are determined using a sliding scale, which adjusts due requirements based on self-disclosed annual income. The minimum due is $0, and the maximum due is $300. Members may waive the right to self-disclose annual income if no adjustment from the maximum due amount is requested. Dues may be paid in monthly installments or in full at the beginning of a member’s tenure. A $50 discount is available if the dues amount is paid in full at the beginning of a member’s tenure (i.e. $250). Once this application is complete, you will receive details on how to pay your dues.
