Association Dues Adjusted for 2005
August 30, 2004
Jeff Rivard, Executive Director (contact)
Individual golfer dues paid by Member Clubs, the financial
lifeblood of the Association, will rise in 2005 to $18 from $15. This is the
first increase since the Association moved to $15 in 2000.
The increase is designed to keep the
Association's cash operations on a break even basis. $18 is consistent with the
national average of dues for regional amateur associations that were $18.50 as
of 2003. Since the previous dues increase in 2000, the WPGA has provided over
$100,000 of computers to Member Clubs for GHIN (Golf Handicap & Information
Network), a USGA service, computations, added Public Links, Women's,
Parent-Child, and Fred Brand Century championships, and employed a Director,
Membership Development & Services.
