Motion Preamble

Each section of the motion is referred to as an “Article,” numbered 1 through 5 Moved, that the NSPE House of Delegates approves and directs the implementation of a new membership business model to be effective July 1, 2018, subject to the final decision on model implementation no later than January 31, 2018.; and Further moved that a new NSPE membership business model shall be implemented based on the following key elements:

Two options for State Society affiliation with the National Organization:

Article 1

Integrated Affiliation

Article 1a

Integrated Affiliation, based upon:

• A unified membership that includes membership in both the National Organization and one State

Society for professional members, offered at a society-wide, single dues price point;

• The discontinuance of new state-only membership effective June 30, 2018;
• Grandfathering of existing state-only memberships current to the State Society as of June 30, 2018, billed and

administered by the State Society for as long as the State Society chooses to support this membership category and grandfathered state-only members maintain continuous state-only membership.

• A division of dues between the National Organization and State Society based upon

service/capacity tiers;

• Service/capacity tiers and placement within tiers shall be reviewed and modified in consultation between the

National Organization and participating State Societies at the conclusion of the first fiscal year after implementation (June 20, 2019) and every other year thereafter and may be adjusted between regular reviews if and when a material change in State Society circumstances occur.

• The establishment and maintenance of a single membership administration and billing system

managed by and the responsibility of the National Organization.

Non-Integrated Affiliation

Article 1b

Non-Integrated Affiliation, based upon:

• Non-contingent membership, in which a member may choose to join the

National Organization and/or the State Society with no requirement to join both.

• All State Society membership administration, financial, and operational activities

shall be under the control and the responsibility of the State Society, which shall conduct its own marketing, billing, administration, and service operations.

• All terms of National membership within the state and National membership

administration, financial, and operational activities within such states shall be under the control and the responsibility of the National Organization, which shall conduct its own marketing, billing, administration, and service operations for National memberships within such states.

Questions on the Affiliation Options?

Official status of State Society, regardless

• f form of affiliation chosen

Article 2

Regardless of affiliation option selected, all State Societies shall be the sole designated and official affiliated state or territorial component of NSPE.

• The National Organization and all State Societies mutually commit to

continue to work together closely and collaboratively for the good of the profession and the professional engineer (regardless of the nature

• f the affiliation between the partners).
• This mutual cooperation shall include joint membership promotion campaigns

to encourage new and single-level members to hold membership at both the national and state levels, if and where a Non-Integrated State Society is open to participating in such joint campaigns.

Dues

Article 3

The initial, single dues price point for membership in the National Organization shall be $299; and

• The initial division of dues revenue between the National Organization and Integrated

State Societies shall be:

• Where dues are discounted (e.g.; graduated dues for engineering graduates), the division
• f dues between the National Organization and the State Society shall be proportional

according to the divisions set forth in Subdivision 3(3.A).

• These dues shall remain in place for FY2019 and FY2020 and will be adjusted every other

year thereafter.

Implementation Timeline

Article 4

In order to implement this action:

• No later than January 1, 2018, all State Societies shall provide the National Organization

with a written statement of intent that indicates whether the state or territorial society plans to affiliate with the National Organization via (a) the Integrated Affiliation option,

• r (b) the Non-Integrated Affiliation option, as well as such other information as may be

necessary for NSPE to conduct a business analysis and financial assessment;

• The NSPE Board of Directors shall, based upon the State Society affiliation elections,

assess the financial and operational feasibility of the model for the National Organization and State Societies (collectively) and take final action to proceed with implementation of this membership business model no later than January 31, 2018;

• Assuming a positive decision, the National Organization and State Societies will recruit

new members and renew existing members under the respective terms of their form of affiliation, beginning July 1, 2018.
