Yearly Dues Change Proposal for institution beginning 2025-26

Current:

Membership is $50 for returning members with a $10 discount for early registration and new members. This cost is for the first two members from each school. Membership, beyond two, from a school have a cost of $20 per member.

Membership costs include a $5 fee submitted to the MHSCA for basic membership in that umbrella organization. Along with an additional fee of $6 that is submitted for liability insurance coverage that is offered through that organization by the early registration date of 12/15 each season.

Proposed:

With MHSCA enacting an increase from $5 to $9 in the basic membership starting with the 2025-26 season, it is proposed that the membership fees for the MHSIBCA be increased by $5 per member beginning with the 2025-26 to offset this cost. Thus, the membership fee would increase to $55 dollars for returning members, with the $10 early registration discount being applied for applications received by 12/15 that includes the liability insurance. The new member discount will be applied through the January 31st final signup date but will not include liability insurance after 12/15. Memberships, beyond two, for a school would move from $20 to $25.

Posting date 9/16/24
