A Vital Contribution For Our Future

Hello,

First, I want to thank all the members who attended our Annual General Assembly (AGA) in April 2025. During the event, important decisions were made, including those concerning membership dues.

It's worth remembering that the AGA is our association's most important meeting. It's where all members are invited to participate in the life of the association by voting on the topics discussed. Therefore, we carry out the decisions you make.

To ensure our association's financial stability, two major adjustments were voted on and will come into effect soon:

1. Special Dues for 2025: $50

To address a projected budget deficit for 2025, due to a decrease in anticipated revenue, the members approved during the general assembly a one-time special contribution of $50.

A dues notice will be sent to you on July 1st.

2. Increase in Annual Dues Starting 2026

Effective 2026, annual dues will go from 250$ to 300$ a year. With dues not being indexed for multiple years, this measure, also adopted at the AGA, aims to ensure long-term financial stability for our association. More details here.

With the rise in all costs affecting us, this increase is necessary to maintain the quality of our services and guarantee our activities.

These decisions, while difficult, were made in the collective interest. They aim to protect the future of our association and allow us to continue representing and supporting you effectively.

Changes to the bylaws (our association's rules) were also voted on. You can consult the relevant table on our website.

Thank you sincerely for your understanding and continued commitment.

Bernard Larivière,
President
