Members attending the August 14 Annual Membership Meeting held in conjunction with DC 2010 approved three motions brought forward by the SAA Council. Approved were:
- A constitutional amendment that grants "foreign associate" members eligibility to be elected SAA Fellows. (Read the motion and support statement here.)
- A constitutional amendment that changes the member "grace period" from 90 to 28 days. (Read the motion and support statement here.)
- Implementation of a graduated dues increase, phased in over a three-year period beginning July 1, 2011. (For an explanation and analysis of the rationale, see SAA Treasurer Aimee Felker's article, "Sustaining SAA: New Dues Proposed.")
