(I wouldn't assign for twice the pay.)

Assignment fees generate $42,700 (about $130 per member).

The last time our assignment fee went up (from 6%) our annual dues went down.

One way or another, the money is raised. One way or another, the money is spent.

Money is raised as a fixed amount (dues, same from all members), or as a percentage (assignment fee, varies from member to member).

We have a committee of several smart accountants that set our budget every year, and audit it six months later.

This committee sets the annual dues amount, that does vary slightly from year to year, based on the budget.

The budget is well publicized. We all see where every penny comes from, and where every penny is spent.

What are some common assignment fees in other areas?

Do any organizations just pay annual fixed fees (dues) and no assignment fee percentage?

Or vice versa, and just pay an assignment fee percentage?

Running an organization of 325 members covering over seventy high schools, in a very high cost of living state, isn't inexpensive.

I don't live in Hawaii, but I don't live in Mississippi either.
