KEHA Dues – Fall is the time for membership drives and collection of dues at the county level. Counties are encouraged to have a dues deadline no later than Dec. 1. Dues payment and the remittance form (KEHA Appendix, page 16) should be mailed to the area and state treasurers by Dec. 15 and are delinquent if not received by Dec. 31. If a county is delinquent, they will not be permitted to have voting delegates and rights to vote at the 2022 state business meeting. As you wrap-up your membership drive, remember that the county with the greatest percentage increase in members will receive the Ms. E. Go traveling award and $300. The county with the greatest increase in number of members will receive the Ms. Way to Go traveling award and $300.
