Dues transmitted by the Post to the Department of Iowa received at Department before January 10, 2024, will be accepted at the old rate. Transmittals received after January 10, 2024, will be processed at the new rate.
Only a post can set the per capita dues for its members. Submit the Post Dues Increase Reporting Form to the Department of Iowa if your post wishes to increase its dues. All forms must be received on or before November 15, 2023, to be reflected on the January renewal notice mailed by National Headquarters.
Post Data Reports will also be sent in the spring. The Post Data Report is due by April 15, 2024, to increase dues effective July 1, 2024, for the new 2025 membership year.
