Much of the morning of SLA Leadership Summit was devoted to debating a dues increase. One proposal was to implement a tiered system based on salary. The lowest quartile ($0 to $35,000) would see a dues decrease, while the top three quartiles would see an increase. The second proposal was to index an increase to the U.S. Consumer Price Index. Much was said on the issue but the vote was to send the whole notion back to the Board with the assumption that the Board will ask the Finance Committee to take another look at it.
