Membership Dues Increase & Upcoming Budget Discussions
The 2022 Board voted on December 14th to raise the annual voluntary dues from $50 a year to $60 a year. Dues have not been raised for 12 years and the cost of living, as you know, has increased since then.

In January last year, the Board approved a budget showing a $4,000 shortfall. Luckily, increased memberships and generous sponsorships from Ting, Metrum Community Credit Union, and Colorado Home Realty, along with some extra Dumpster Day donations, brought us about even. An annual revenue shortfall is not sustainable and a healthy reserve is needed each January as we start the budget year. Survey results printed in the October 2022 Foxtales indicated an interest in both raising dues and increasing memberships, rather than cutting programs and services. The new board believes a modest dues increase and continuing efforts to increase membership will allow us to approve a balanced budget and will bring in the revenue needed to fund all of the events and services listed above and keep up with inflation. Sponsorships will allow us to
enhance our programs even more.

We hope that the extra $10 per year will not deter people from joining the FIA. As one member said, “Even at $60 a year, this is the best deal in town!” Budget discussions will take place at the January 11th board meeting and the 2023 budget will be printed in the February Foxtales.
