"Your worldview is from where you stand."
When is the last time you had civil discourse with someone who has a different worldview from you? For me, it was this morning with another Impact 100 member. The conversation gave me hope in how dialogue and proximity create stronger connections.
So let's cut to the heart of engaging in civil discourse. After The BIG Reveal, Marla* sent me an email....

Membership Installment payments are a great option!
|
|
Installment plans are a great way to budget for your Impact 100 dues. We encourage anyone interested in this option to start your 2020 membership now!
Some quick definitions:
- One-Time Donation: this one's pretty obvious, right? Just one time!
- Recurring Donation: this can be set up monthly, quarterly, etc but only lasts one calendar year. You'll have to set it up again next year.
- Sustaining Donation: this can be set up monthly, quarterly, etc but keeps going until you tell us to stop!! So nothing for you to do year over year. Isn't that easy?
And remember, all membership dues must be collected by Dec 31st, 2019 to be a voting member in 2020!
