So The December AMC meeting agenda has a motion for a dues increase.
While I guess I can be convinced that it’s been a while and some increase in the dues rate is warranted, 35% seems excessive. I could get behind it if there were a clear list of additional benefits, programs, and improvements that will add value to our membership. I can note that last spring, the Executive Director did initiate a small AMC working group (which included me as Comm Officer) to discuss ways to add value, but unfortunately those discussions were abandoned before any progress was made.
Does the AMC have a plan beyond “we need more money to keep up with the status quo?"
