Oh, it is not P&M to point out your "WRONG!" is indeed misplaced.
I never said anything about Joiners, this whole thread is about Renewers & Late Renewers,
so I cannot be wrong about joiners & prorating. What I said about RENEWERS is accurate, right?
KE-
Gad! this is stretching the original topic and I can't explain how I got sucked into it, but...........maybe this will help put it to rest.
I think what Hoss was relying on as authority behind his statement was this, from the Bylaws: "
Any AMA member who fails to pay annual dues within thirty (30) days after they are due and payable shall be dropped from the membership rolls."
Dropped from membership rolls means one is no longer a member, right? If you buy that, then there is no difference between joiners and late renewers - both are just non-members applying for membership.
Penalizing late renewers would appear to be no different than penalizing 1st time joiners. Not to say AMA wouldn't do that - for some at HQ its another revenue opportunity.
