AHEPA District 12 Governor Message
AHEPA Chapter Officers,
Happy New Year! I wish everyone a Healthy, Happy, and Prosperous New Year!
I would like to formally inform all our chapters that there are changes in the AHEPA National and District due structure in 2024.
At the National level, the dues that need to be remitted to AHEPA HQ is now $50 per paying member (Life members are excluded). This was passed at the Supreme Convention in 2022 by the delegates to the Supreme Convention. The old due amount was $45.
In addition, at the 2022 Supreme Convention, the delegates to the convention approved eliminating the $2.00 per member reimbursement to the districts that came from AHEPA HQ. AHEPA HQ will now keep that extra $2.00.
To accommodate the national decision to eliminate the $2.00 reimbursement to the districts, there is also a change to Hoosier District #12 per Capita dues in 2024.
The delegates to the 2023 District #12 Convention approved raising the district per capita charge from the chapters to $8.00 (old charge was $5.00). This is a $3.00 increase from last year. This is to fill in the gap of district finances due to the elimination of receiving the $2.00 from National and an extra $1.00 cushion. District #12 per Capita has not been raised in over 12 years.
Please keep in mind that the dues are $8.00 per paying AHEPA member (Life members are excluded from the $8.00 charge) and this will need to be paid at the 2024 District Convention. We do not foresee an increase in District per capita for many years to come unless the delegates of the district convention feel there is some special need to expand programs or services at the district level.
The current 2024 AHEPA District 12 Chapter dues:
I wish all our chapters a successful 2024!
Fraternally,
Harry Mihailidis
