One correction<br>
<br>
We will be voting on the change to the membership year in January.  The vote to change the membership year was announced and accepted by the membership at this year's annual meeting.<br>
<br>
Our bi-laws require a public announcement about amendments to the bi-laws for 30 days before they can be ratified by a vote on 2/3 of current members.<br>
<br>
Thankx.<br>

<div>Joe will undoubtedly answer you as well, Cindy, but I can share what I know about this. We voted last year to increase membership dues to $100/yr. The dues are not new. The amount has increased. We also voted to change the renewal/expiration date to match
 the calendar year rather than when the conference occurs in November. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does this help answer some of your questions?<br>
