New, lower, SLA Dues Tier for Info Pros Making Less than $18K

SLA announced today a third tier of membership dues for the full member class of membership. Members with incomes less thanUS$18,000 annually will now pay US$35 annually with full membership benefits. This will help unemployed, retired, part-timers members or those living in Asia or elsewhere who do not make the equivalent of US$18, 000 gain or retain membership.

From SLA's press release, not yet on the website:

With this addition, SLA will now have three dues tiers for full members: One for members with incomes equivalent to US$35,000 or more (dues of US$160); one for members with incomes below US$35,000 but equivalent or above US$18,000 (dues of US$99); and the third new tier for members with incomes below US$18,000 (dues of US$35).

The member benefit that allows members who become unemployed a one-time, one-year opportunity to pay dues of US$49 is now unnecessary and will be eliminated. Members will now be able to pay the lowest dues as long as their income is below US$18,000, regardless of their employment status.
