What is the dues structure for OPRC?
The OPRC membership year is January to December of each calendar year. Individual chapters determine the amount of their annual chapter dues; the lowest possible dues are recommended. A total of $35 annually is a recommended amount, but some chapters charge higher fees to cover the cost of their chapter-sponsored functions, and others charge less if they have profitable fund-raising activities. For each member, from the chapter dues, the chapter sends $17 annually to cover the National OPRC dues, which pays the National OPRC costs (web hosting, office supplies, postage, lawyer fees, Board of Directors insurance, reimbursement of BOD members’ costs, rally ribbons, year end award prizes, insurance, etc.). There is a $5 fee for late renewing members (mailed after February 28, see below).
