Recharter is Coming Soon!
We are now starting another recharter year! At the beginning of this year, we issued a 9-month charter, so that it matches better with the school year and unit calendars.
Because we are returning to a full-year charter after a prorated 9-month cycle during COVID, membership fees may look substantially higher. The per-month costs are actually just $1 higher. The annual fees, which are not due until the end of September, are broken down into the following categories.
|
You can talk to your unit leader or unit Committee Chair to find out more about what is needed during the recharter. They are being sent information this week to help with this process.
