Confirmation clarification on Dues commitments by Membership class: passed
On Subsequent year annual dues shall not exceed Initial year annual dues. This applies to all members of the same class
Other dues no commitment made but, a Member, at is sole discretion can elect not to pay other dues and cease to be a member.
Confirmation that there is no partial year pro-rating of dues. If a prospective Member feels dues should be prorated for a partial year then they can wait until the following calendar year to join.
