I just cut & pasted the following from the AFTCA website. A bit of a surprise. I'd typed up a multi-paragraph response of my thoughts on this. But after reading it I thought I'd better delete my thoughts & just put this out there.

2026 AFTCA Individual Membership Increase
AFTCA members –

At last year’s AFTCA Annual Meeting, it was voted and approved unanimously by the Board of Trustees to raise the individual membership fee. The decision was made after careful consideration as we want to continue to add increasing value to your membership.

Beginning on June 30, individual annual membership dues will increase from $50 – $75. Club dues will remain the same at $100. This adjustment reflects our ongoing investment in the AFTCA store, website, programs and rising operating costs.

If you have any questions about these changes please don’t hesitate to reach out to the executive committee or your regional trustee.

Thank you,
AFTCA
