As you have probably read in the International Musician, delegates at the last AFM Convention approved a one-time special assessment of $10 per member. This assessment is to be sent to Local 655 and we will forward the assessment directly to the Federation for debt payment, recruitment, and headquarters relocation; none of it is kept by Locals. We thank you for your support and understanding and your prompt payment in January! A copy of the official assessment is available at the Local upon request.
- REGULAR MEMBERS: $136 annual dues +$10 special assessment =$146 total
- LIFE MEMBERS: $86 annual dues +$10 special assessment =$96 total
