Dues structure
Dues are based on a sliding scale to allow both large and small organizations to become members. The dues structure is scaled based on gross revenues of the member. All members, regardless of the level of their dues, will benefit equally from the activities of GoMOOS.
The membership year is a 12-month period beginning each September 1. Dues for members joining mid-year will be pro-rated.
