Membership renewals start in October; dues to increase slightly

IAAO membership renewals for 2023 start in October and at its July meeting, the IAAO Board of Directors approved an increase of membership dues by $15 for Regular and Associate members. This increase applies with the 2023 membership year and will be reflected in the upcoming renewal period. The board cited rising costs associated with the continued delivery of high-quality benefits for its members as the reason for the increase.
