WHERE DOES YOUR MEMBERSHIP FEE GO?

TasTESOL needs membership fees to help with annual ACTA capitation fees ($20 per member), website maintenance, forums, conference costs (catering, flights for speakers, etc.), room hire (when required) and other incidental costs (e.g. occasional stationery, postage). Financial Reports are presented by the Treasurer at the AGM, and our finances are audited annually.
