A lot has happened in the past few months. I came on board in January to learn the ropes, moved to full-time in February, and was on my own by March. April brought conference planning and bylaw changes, May focused on restructuring, and June was spent putting together a new membership guide.
You’ll be receiving that guide very soon along with your renewal packet. That's right, you'll have a good old-fashioned print resource to help you navigate your membership benefits and stay up to date on association news and initiatives.
July 1 marks the start of our new fiscal year, and with it we're looking to refresh a few things. We'll begin operating under the name Midwest Community Publications, the next issue of Paperclips will get a facelift, and, most importantly, we hope to welcome new members to the association.
Thanks to our recent bylaw changes, we can now accept paid and digital-only publications as members. Perhaps you know of publications that would be a good fit, or maybe you already have some under your umbrella. We hope you'll consider inviting them to join.
Along with expanding membership eligibility, we've also restructured our dues to better serve companies with multiple publications. In short, the more publications that join, the greater the potential savings. The guide and renewal packet will explain the details but depending on the number of publications you have and any additional audits you may need, your overall dues, especially your cost per publication, could potentially decrease.
I'm hoping to reach out to more members, both new and existing, over the next month. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the new bylaws or dues structure, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'd be happy to walk you through the changes.
