The dues increase was approved by the SPJ board of directors Sept. 25 at their meeting in New Orleans.
SPJ-DC chapter members should have received from SPJ’s national headquarters a reminder about the increase and an explanation as to why it was needed. But just to make sure everyone is informed, here’s a list of the new fee structure:
– Pro Members: $3 (up to $75)
– Retired: $1.50 (up to $37.50)
– Household: $1.50 (up to $37.50)
– Post-Graduate: $1.50 (up to $37.50)
– Student: $1.50 (up to $37.50)
– Associate: $4 (up to $94)
If you have questions here’s a short Q&A about why the increase was put in place and what authority the board had to do so.
