AACE Board of Directors Announces 2011 Membership Dues IncreasernThe AACE International Board of Directors announced that regular membership dues for 2011 will be $143, a ten percent increase from this year's level. "Amazingly, this will be the first AACE dues increase in nearly a decade," noted AACE President Stephen O. Revay, CCC CFCC.rn"With Association expenses continuing to rise and AACE services and benefits expanding, it was apparent that we needed to bring dues up to a level to support our mission. Based upon the US government consumer price index, we actually would require $157.66 to replicate the purchasing power of $130 in 2002. With membership dues contributing less than 30 percent to our operational budgets, we believe our members receive a tremen-dous value for their dues investment when compared to peer pro-fessional associations," Revay commented. The dues increase will be reflected in 2011 renewal state-rnments for memberships expiring on or after January 1, 2011. Members joining for the first time may join AACE International for a 12-month period for the current dues of $130, plus a $10 processing fee until January 1. The dues increase will also change the corporate sponsorship program which will now be set at $1164, a 10 percent increase for the eight memberships that are included in the price of CSP membership.
