>>Budget 2023 and dues increase
Aside from discussing the budget 2023, this meeting will also re-introduce the need for a dues increase, as the Association would otherwise run into a significant deficit. The Finance Committee and the National Executive Committee (NEC) have acknowledged that inflation and the absence of a dues increase in the last decade have contributed to the situation.
The Finance Committee has recommended that a $12 dues increase be integrated into the 2023 budget to match inflation, and that a yearly escalator tied to the Consumer Price Index be considered as a solution to keep up with inflation going forward. This recommendation was adopted by the members of the National Executive Committee and incorporated into the budget.
CAPE’s dues have been sitting at $48 for a decade.
>>Vote June 1-15
On June 1, the membership will get 10 working days to vote on two issues:
- Combined budget 2023 and $12 dues increase
- A yearly escalator tied to the Consumer price index to keep up with inflation
