July 1st is the first day of the new fiscal year for CSLA and we have some EXCITING news to share with you. After our yearly financial review, we have determined that we are fiscally solvent. As many of you may remember, it was only 3 years ago that our organization was in a situation that required us to borrow funds from one of our fund raising committees to stay afloat. Due to the hard work and many volunteer hours of our state board members, above and beyond their normal positions, we were able to bring CSLA back to it’s previous financial position. Because of these facts, we are now in a position to pass on savings to our members through membership dues and conference fees this year (stay tuned for some exciting details in September). Please see the NEW membership fee structured below. This fee structure was approved by the state board on June 12th and will begin today, July 1st.
