The NCDA Board of Directors is implementing a membership dues increase effective October 1, 2012. Due to the increasing costs of operations and member services, and to remain fiscally sound in this unstable economy, the Board has set the following dues structure: Professional/Regular - $85 Student/ New Professional - $35 Retired - $50
Rationale
The last Membership Dues Increase was 2009. Since then:
Significant Expense Increases:
Significant Revenue Shortfalls:
New and Enhanced Services since 2009:
Note: NCDA strives to maintain at least 75% of NCDA revenues for member services; 25% for general/administrative costs. The management team has received minimal pay increases while assuming additional workload duties. The board is on a volunteer basis, with the exception of a slight stipend for the president, and are only reimbursed for travel and related expenses.
