A Message from the NABSW Executive Board
Item 1. The postmark deadline for submitting membership rosters and dues is being extended by two weeks (Friday, November 16, 2012) for all chapters who were in the path of hurricane Sandy. This includes all chapters in the following areas:
•DC
•Maryland
•Virginia
•New Jersey
•New York
•Connecticut
•Pennsylvania
•Massachusetts
•Nova Scotia, Canada
Item 2. For chapter experiencing difficulty in recruiting or maintaining the required 10 members, they will be able to renew and re-affiliate with 5-9 members. The motion passed at the Steering Committee Meeting in Jacksonville, FL on October 5, 2012 as follows:
To allow chapters who have identified to the membership committee that they are not re-affiliating or are experiencing difficulties establishing a chapter because of the 10 member requirement, an exception to the 10 member requirement is being adjusted as follows:
For one year, community chapters may join with voting rights, with 5-9 members. The normal annual chapter amount of $400.00 per chapter will be prorated to $40.00 per member. Membership dues per member will remain at $25.00 per regular member. If community chapters also have student members, the student membership dues of $10.00 per student will remain the same. Example, a chapter joining with 5 members would submit $200.00 per capita and $125.00 in membership dues for a total of $325.00.
For student chapters, the normal $25.00 per year chapter amount remains the same. Membership dues will remain at $10.00 per student member and $25 for regular members. For example, a student chapter joining with 7 members would submit $70.00 per capita and $25.00 in chapter dues for a total of $95.00.
The membership committee will assess each chapter with less than 10 members periodically. If after one year, and a chapter is still meeting challenges in recruiting 10 members, the membership co-chairs may make a request to the executive board for an additional one year extension.
Please contact our membership Co-Chairs, Roxanne Ellis-Denby, rellisdenby@att.net or Traci Lewis, lewis.40@osu.edu with any questions.
