Limited Dues Increase(The proposed dues increase requires a 2/3 majority voting members who vote to be approved.)RationaleIn 2004, the “top tier” for membership was increased from salaries over $55,000 per year to $85,000 per year. Currently members making $85,000 per year or more all pay the same dues rate.Only 10-15% of CLA members would be subject to the proposed dues increases.By 2024, the proposed changes would be anticipated to bring in approximately $15,000 in additional annual revenue. This is an incremental proposal that will improve CLA's sustainability and ability to provide member services, but it no not completely address all of the organization's financial challenges. It is however a step in the right direction, and it is an approach that moves us forward without any financial impact on any current or potential members making under $115,000 per year.Membership dues support CLA’s professional development opportunities and advocacy efforts for libraries. Membership provides discounted registration to the annual conference and other CLA events; professional development opportunities to serve through committees, interest groups, or elected office; and access to member communications, mailing lists, and exclusive online resources.The ProposalWithout increasing dues for individual voting members making $114,999 or less, shall the standard individual voting member dues structure be changed to add two additional tiers for members making over $115,000 per year? Dues increases would be phased in over two years, so that dues for members making $115,000 to $149,999 would increase from $165 to $195 effective January 1, 2023, and increase again to $230 per year effective January 1, 2024. For members making $150,000 per year or more, dues would increase from $165 to $230 effective January 1, 2023, and increase again to $295 per year effective January 1, 2024.
