  10. Non Payment of Dues Policy Change This committee has worked to outline an update to the non-payment of dues policy. The changes are to make dues payable or arrangements to pay within 30 days of receipt by the member organization of notice that membership is due for renewal (used to be 90 days) AND an organization’s status as member shall terminate if the organization fails to make payment or arrangement for payment of membership dues within the specified twelve month period.

  11. Member Benefit Policy Development The Governance Committee has developed a Member Benefit Policy. Eileen Higgins, Chair of this Committee, will be taking it to the next Executive Committee Meeting for consideration and approval.
