\"Flowers<\/a>A new LERN member level and dues for colleges and universities is being proposed to give you an option to keep your dues low, benefits high, and position LERN to remain the leading association in the world in continuing education.
\nLERN is currently the largest continuing education association in the world, and in good financial health.\u00a0 In order to keep LERN financially viable and serving you and our other members, LERN is proposing to give you a dues option of either:
\n1) Increasing your dues; or
\n2) Keeping your dues low, your benefits high, and actually generating income for your program by generating registrations for UGotClass online courses. The new membership level is being proposed for several reasons, one of which is to keep members with modest budgets unable to afford significant dues increases.
\nWe invite your feedback and suggestions on the proposed new dues option between now and October 1, 2015.\u00a0 Just email your thoughts to info@lern.org<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 Subject line: LERN dues

Notes
\n<\/strong>-Beginning on July 1, 2015, dues level increases by $50 to $745
\n-\u201cFY\u201d is Fiscal Year, July 1 through June 30 of the next calendar year. Example: FY16= July 1, 2015 \u2013 June 30, 2016.
\n-UGotClass registrations would be counted for the time period July through June, although exceptions can be made as long as the time period is 12 months.
\n-Shows Reward Level Discount savings if joining Reward Level in FY2016
\nRationale<\/strong>
\nWe project a need to increase income by 2020.\u00a0 LERN dues are currently just 16 percent of our income, much lower than the association average of 38 percent.\u00a0 Your member benefits are extremely high. The new membership level is being proposed for several reasons, one of which is to keep members with modest budgets unable to afford significant dues increases.
\nThe Reward Level membership purpose is to generate $2 million from UGotClass by 2020, a level of income that would sustain LERN and continue its member benefits for all members\/constituencies in LERN.\u00a0 For LERN members choosing the option of Regular Dues, LERN would also make its income goals.
\nWe invite your feedback and suggestions on the proposed new dues option between now and Oct. 1, 2015.\u00a0 Just email your thoughts to info@lern.org<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 Subject line: LERN dues
\nIf you wish to speak with or email the Chair of the LERN Board of Directors or any other Board Members, simply request their contact information.
