In July 2002, the board of directors
voted to adopt a "Dinner with Dues" program that has been successfully
implemented in other Chapters across the country. This program
includes,
at a much reduced expense level, the cost of dinner with your yearly
membership dues.
So, how does it work? Yearly dues for Professional,
Industry, Associate, Intermediate, and Retired membership now include
the cost of dinner at eight of the 10 yearly meetings. The Christmas
Social/Benefit in December and the ConstructionForum (product show) in March are excluded from this program. Since dinner for members
normally costs $30 per meal, you can realize the benefit very quickly.
Members write one check at the start of the year to cover their
membership and meals. It greatly simplifies the member's reimbursement
process and chapter bookkeeping. Check-in at the monthly meetings
will be faster without the need to write checks or count cash. Guests will still pay $30 for
dinner.
