Club Dues Challenge

Last June we learned, effective September 30, 2016, all those not paying dues will no longer
be members on October 1, 2016. Incentives were offered to those clubs renewing 75 to 100%
of their dues by April 1st. This was a practice exercise to prepare for the next dues cycle. As it
stands members are considered in good standing 60 days after the official due date of April
10th. That means you can compete in contests and hold office. On October 1st if your dues are
not at World Headquarters you are no longer a Toastmaster. Only Toastmasters can compete
in contests and serve as club officers. It is critical that each club develop a good strategy for
collecting and submitting all their dues on time. In the next issue of Voices! clubs will share
what they did to achieve a high rate of payment.

The results are in. . .
