The Plumbing Heating Cooling Contractors - National Association changed its dues structure again and established an Internet-only membership option at its last convention of the century.
In a series of business meetings that spanned three days in October, 264 registered members voted to set dues at $375, and dismiss the organization's connection to the U.S. government's Cost of Living Increase. An amendment to raise the figure to $475 was also dismissed. Of the six resolutions concerning dues structure, five were withdrawn and only one was voted on.
