HLAA Dues Increase
The Board of Trustees voted to increase membership dues to $35 a year at the
November Board meeting. The increase went into effect as of March 1, 2008.
A Message from the President
In 1979 when our organization began, dues were only $7. In 1988 they increased
to $12, with other increases over the years. Some of you may remember when a
quart of milk cost 70 cents, a gallon of gasoline less than a dollar and a first
class postage stamp only 25 cents. Prices are different today.
We hope you agree that there is nowhere else where people with hearing loss can
benefit from a national advocacy presence, a website with reliable, organized,
and archived answers to questions about hearing loss and assistive technology,
the Hearing Loss Magazine, with credible, current information, over
200 local support chapters and 14 state organizations, discounts to annual national
conventions and many regional conferences.
What else can you buy for $35, less than 70 cents a week, that will give you
more information and encouragement to be a vital person in our hearing world?
Please know that your Hearing Loss Association of America is here for
you because you care enough to be a part of the national concern for hearing
loss. We appreciate your membership.
