Financial Stability – Regular dues help cover operational costs, ensuring sustainability
without relying solely on grants or donations.
Program Funding – They allow you to offer training, networking events, mentorship
programs, and other valuable resources.
Member Commitment – Charging dues encourages members to stay engaged and invested
in the organization.
