- Full year dues cover the full fiscal year. If I pay $10.00 by June 30th of a 200x, my membership runs from July 1 201x to June 30, 201y.
- Dues through June 30, 200y remain $10.00 until around Thanksgiving.
- From Thanksgiving through Tax Day, I can pay half-year dues that run from the day I pay $5.00 through June 30, 200y. As a courtesy, if I pay between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, I'm considered a member from the day I pay through June 30, 200y
- After Tax Day, we start accepting dues for 200y - 200z. If I pay $10.00 after Tax day, I'm paying for July 1, 200y - June 30, 200z. As a courtesy, I'm considered a member from the day I pay, but I can't vote in the end-of-year elections.
Doesn't this approach cause confusion at the time of the elections, since you effectively wind up with both voting and non-voting members?
(I expect we'll need to deal with some of that anyways, of course since we're not requiring membership to attend the meeting itself.)
