Membership
Dues: The annual dues paid by each UNA member is divided between
UNA-USA Headquarters in New York City, and that member's "local"
Chapter/Division, unless the member specifies a different Chapter/Division.
UNA-USA headquarters provides the membership benefits described on the <www.unausa.org>
website including a subscription for the quarterly magazine The
InterDependent to all members. That portion of the membership dues going to
UNA-Oregon mainly covers the cost of newsletters to local members, plus some
program activity and publicity expenses. Dues are essential but cover only a
small portion of the overall expenses.
