AAUW Dues

Currently, an AAUW member in Texas pays $45 for Association dues, $10 for AAUW TX dues and $10 - $16 for local branch dues -- a total of $65 - $71 per year. Many people I've recruited have reacted with "Is that all you pay in dues?" However, I've had current AAUW members tell me that folks are not re-newing because the dues are too high.

What do you think?

For me, this discussion usually turns on the value proposition. And it's usually a question of what folks are getting for their national (or state) dues. If all they see out of DC is a copy of Outlook every few months, then, yes, it seems like a lot of money for dues. However, if they make the effort to get connected to all the other resources and see what the organization can accomplish when we work together, then membership is a bargain. [I for one don't mind paying the $45 just to support Lisa Maatz.]
