Update on the 2010 Membership Dues
In 2008 the IFCA membership, by a 51-1 vote, passed a 20% dues increase at the Annual Business Meeting to help offset inflationary costs.  The last dues increase prior to that was in 2005, and the last one before that was in 1994.

However, due to the ongoing recession and its trickle down impact on our membership, the Board voted at its 2008 Fall Board meeting to "half" the approved 20% dues increase, to only 10% for 2009.  This provided members with a one year savings on dues of 10%.

Then, at the 2009 Fall Board meeting on November 19, 2009 in Post Falls, the Board voted unanimously to add on the remaining 10% that had been suspended for 2009 which would then be effective January 2010.  This means a 10% dues increase was put in place for 2010.

We sincerely thank all of our loyal members and sponsors for their support and continued  membership in the IFCA!
