Dues For 2010-11
I intercepted this Blue Memo.
If you do the math, it works out to $24.94 per check for 2011-12. At the end of last school year our dues were $28.38 per check.
There seems to be some discrepancies here. We've been told that only $15 dollars (per year) of each members dues stays in our local treasury.
At a meeting early last year members inquired after dues went up slightly on how the dues increase process works.
It was explained that delegates from each local attend an annual representative assembly (RA) meeting as a voice for each local on such issues.
Ironically who attended from our local is never reported, nor is any information on what topics were part of the agenda. Under inquiry, President Janice said Sue and Kelly L***** typically go, but that it is open for anyone to attend if they express the desire.
Here is an interesting section from the Constitution of the De Pere Educational Support Personnel Assocation. Keep in mind that we recently all went though the bylaws so that we'd hopefully have a better understanding of how we are supposed to be operating.
ARTICLE XI - DELEGATES
The delegates to the WEAC or the NEA Representative Assembly shall be elected by secret ballot. Association officers whose duties include serving as delegated to Representative Assemblies or other official business meetings of organizations with which the Association is affiliated shall be as specified in the Constitution.
To the best of my knowledge for the last decade we have not even elected RA delegates.
