Voting Delegates present at the 2011 Georgia AAUW state convention support a motion to provide written 30 day notice to the branches and their members of a proposed $10 increase in AAUW of Georgia state dues, to be effective with dues payable as of July 1, 2011 … for the 2011-2012 AAUW year.
National dues remain at $49.00 for 2011-2012. State dues will be $20 per year. Branch dues are set by each branch. (Atlanta Branch dues will not change, but each member would pay a total of $87, if the state dues increase is adopted. The increase would be effective when members pay their 2011-12 dues this May.)
Branches are asked to present this proposed increase to their members immediately for discussion and reply with a response by May 10th to Debbie Karvey, AAUW-GA co-president. If any branch and/or member is concerned about the increase, the branch or individual is asked to provide Debbie Karvey with possible alternative solutions to the budget deficit.
All branch responses and suggestions will be shared with the budget committee. All branch responses must be received by May 10th. State convention is currently in recess and the delegates present at the convention on April 2, 2011, will vote electronically on May 15th, on the proposed increase.
