Effective August 1, 2008
national SCV dues
increased to $30. The basic cost for new members and reinstating dues
delinquent members is $35 which is the new dues amount plus the
processing fee. Renewing current members need to pay only the $30. By reducing some costs and utilizing a new source of income, the Executive Council has been able to "hold the line" on Division Dues and presently sees no increase in the foreseeable future. Like National dues, Division dues can be prorated in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. For full explanation and amounts see ByLaws Article 5 Section 5 National Life memberships which are tied to annual dues are now $750 through age 64, $375 for age 65 through 79, and $187.50 for age 80 and up. In the past Mississippi Division Life Memberships were a flat fee; however, the 2008 convention approved age graduated rates tied to the annual dues (actually a decrease in most cases). The application form may be obtained on the this website: http://www.mississippiscv.org/membership.html#Life_Memberships & http://www.mississippiscv.org/ByLaws.html#ARTICLE_4 § 4 C & 4D |
