*Proposed changes that will be submitted to the Finance Committee as a recommendation from the Membership Committee:

1) Increase in membership fees proposal being sent to Finance Committee: instead of “low income” term will be “starter membership fee” increase from $25 to $30.

2) Increase in “regular” from $45 to a sliding scale $50-$65.

3) Increase in “family” from $80 to a sliding scale $80 to $100.

Proposed changes to the Membership Drive itself:

4) Instead of a one week Membership Drive campaign, for this Spring it is proposed to create May as Membership Month, so as to campaign through community events the entire month, with the intention to allow for less stress on new and experienced programmers and volunteers overall, while offering more public opportunity for members to connect and pay.

5) Proposed elimination of the PLEDGE, to relieve the station of volunteer hours in reminder calls while creating the concept that payment is more important than pledging, allowing for a more accurate account of progress.
