General Membership Meeting tonight! Come and VOTE! Monday, November 18, 7:00 PM Food & Beverages Available AGENDA: Vote on Proposed Dues Increases as formulated at our 9/23 and 10/29 Membership Meetings. Members present at both meetings gave their unanimous support for necessary increases given DMAs achievements in past years coupled with the critical work that lies ahead. Members present also recognize that DMA lowered work dues under CBAs in 1995 (3% to 2%) and absorbed multiple AFM per capita increases in recent years without passing those increases on to the membership. Please see the Fall 2013 issue of the Denver Musician for details. Click on the following link to view the DMA Board Proposal to be presented at the 11/18 meeting. Key points of the proposal are: * $10 AFM dues increase effective Jan 1, 2014 (mandate per the 2013 AFM Convention) * $10 local dues increase effective Jan 1, 2015 (Inactive Dues would increase only $9) * Casual Work Dues to increase from 3% to 3.25% * CBA Work Dues to increase from 2% to 2.25% * Periodic audit shall move from 3 to 4-yr periods. Financial review shall move from 2 to 3 years. * Add the following New Article to our bylaws to provide for electronic delivery Official Communications, e.g., newsletter, meeting announcements.
