AF&PA Value Based Dues System
The Value Based Dues system was created to provide a direct relationship between the value a member receives and the dues the member pays. How it works:
- Companies pay for issues and projects based upon relevance to their business
- Relevance is determined by product sales and raw material use
- Factors are developed and changes approved by AF&PA's Board of Directors
- The Value Based Dues system allows us to clearly communicate to each member company what issues and programs their dues dollars support.
