I made the last math comparison on 8-29-03. I am on Council, I do not collect any state or national dues for the state nor do I submit any dues as the Council members are members at their own school. At the BOM meetings, we haven't discussed dues, we discuss planning convention and other items. I am also not on my personal school's board this year where I saw the budget for dues last year. Information packets are sent out by the State office, not by Council.You're a state leader and you didn't know the dues? When did they change? You were doing your math in September 03.
There may not likely be anything wrong with it however, those who volunteer to lobby do not get due credit when it is suggested they do it for money.Absolutely not true. PTA does pay a lobbyist (perhaps even two, I'm forgetting) and also pays to staff and maintain an entire Washington political office. I actually don't think there's anything wrong with that (though it's not a fit for some groups); it's just dead wrong.
Using the updated dues for Nevada, insurance and the average number of members in Nevada, we are paying just over $70 more than we would as a non-NPN member for insurance through your rates. In addition to insurance, we get training, support and materials for a total cost of $751.80 for the average sized Nevada PTA.Our average size unit is basically getting training, materials and insurance for just over $70
Huh? Don't get it.

Yes Tim, sometimes dues change. It is a new year.

First off, PTA does not pay a lobbiest.

It appears that I am stating that you are wrong. What was meant, when you include the statement with the entire post, that when doing the math, the breakdown in costs alone and if true and factual numbers are being used and if the math is done correctly, you are getting more bang for your buck. Our average size unit is basically getting training, materials and insurance for just over $70.(Using the NV average and 2003-2004 dues) I see that as more bang for my buck. Someone else may see it that way also. Am I telling you or Tim or anyone else that what you are doing for your children is wrong? NO! I can be found to state in many posts that anything that is for the children is a good thing. I know that you have read them as you are on the thread.When you really break it down, if you are doing it correctly, you're getting more bang for your buck. It's just that simple. . .
