When must basic dues and International payments be made?

The correct answer is that basic dues and International payments must be made quarterly. This means that members are expected to pay their dues four times a year, maintaining a consistent schedule that aligns with the organization’s financial planning and operational needs. Quarterly payments help ensure that the organization has the necessary funds on a regular basis to support its activities, programs, and member services.

Other payment schedules, such as monthly, annually, or just at the end of the year, may not provide sufficient cash flow or could lead to lapses in membership status if payments are missed or delayed. By requiring quarterly payments, the organization can better manage its budget and resources throughout the year, while also maintaining member engagement and participation.
