A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Dear Association and Commercial Members, 

I want to make you aware of a recent administrative change impacting your association/company’s
ACTHA membership moving forward.

Effective January 1, 2017, all ACTHA memberships will cover the calendar year (January 1 – December 31) instead of the anniversary date of when your association/company joined. This change will align all ACTHA members to the same dues cycle while streamlining our internal business operations. It also allows members to submit dues payments early in their fiscal cycle, which for most members runs on the calendar year. 

As part of this transition, the primary contact from your association/company will receive a modified dues invoice that will adjust the membership to the calendar year.  For example, if your membership is due April 1, 2017, your association/company will receive a pro-rated invoice for 75% of your total dues rate to cover the period through 12/31/17.  Moving forward, all ACTHA members will receive dues invoices for the following year in December, with additional reminders in January and February.  The deadline for members to renew is March 1.

Please note that dues rates will not increase in 2017.  Through strong financial support from our commercial members, ACTHA is able to extend affordable membership rates and nominal event pricing for association members.  Did I mention that all owners may be included with your association membership, regardless if they serve on the board of directors? 

Additionally, the ACTHA directory (which typically distributes in late fall each year) will now distribute in spring after our dues cycle is complete.

If you have any questions regarding this change or membership in general, please contact our office at 312-987-1906 or via email at actha@actha.org.

Thank you for your continued support of ACTHA!
