A dues increase was approved
two years ago by the NAPEHE Board.
This now needs to be taken to the membership for approval. Because the dues have not increased,
President Ruhling noted that we have had to depend on savings to stay
fluid. A dues increase will avoid
that.
Charlie Ash made a motion to
approve the dues increase. Judy
Bishoff seconded the motion.
Sally Ayers questioned why
the Emeritus category is not allowed to vote. President Ruhling will take this under advisement and look
into the privileges for this category.
Following the discussion of
the motion, the question was called and the motion passed by majority vote
expressed orally.

7.0 Adjournment
Charlie Ash motioned for
adjournment. Bill Forbus
seconded. Motion passed.
