Slide #14 Dues Increase Delegates approved a $15 dues increase starting in The increase is needed for severalreasons including: Membership number decrease of over 1200 since 2004 Bank interest rates historically low Rose fund paying operating expenses instead of going to service Only 40% of members gave voluntary $15 dues in 2008 Only 10% of members give personal contribution to ZIF, although 80% of clubs do Funds have to be taken from reserves, leaving them dangerously low Some of the ways Zonta International cut costs are: Amalgamated ZI and ZIF Boards Consolidated accounting for ZI and ZIF Outsourced accounting so we pay only when used Negotiations with service providers Three instead of four Zontian magazine publications Staff losses from ZI were not replaced until absolute need was shown
