We have a report that an NRA dues increase will take effect in early 2016. Associate membership and annual Junior membership dues remain unchanged while one, three, and five year memberships, as well as Life, Junior Life, and Distinguished Life membership types will all see an increase as follows:

• 1-year dues will increase from $35 to $40
• 3-year dues will increase from $85 to $100
• 5-year dues will increase from $125 to $140
• Life dues will increase from $1000 to $1500
• Junior Life dues will increase from $550 to $750
• Distinguished Life dues will increase from $375 to $750

That makes NOW a good time to join, renew, or UPGRADE.
