RE: Will higher fees mean less members?
Personally I have no quibble with the increased fees - it's still worth every penny, and more...
However, decades ago .. in England ... the SMAE (as was) slashed the membership fee more than 50%: some of us were dragged kicking and screaming into this new arrangement, thinking it was financial suicide. Membership recruiting took off like a rocket ....
I'm not urging a similar act from MAAC - I really do not see how $75 a year should deter anyone in this day and age when costs of virtually all organisations and services are far higher. Isn't insurance alone, under a buck and a half a week, well worth the price?
Let's not be pikers....
