Read the latest VAIRS Annual Business Meeting minutes.VAIRS dues structure in conjunction with the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS)AIRS has changed its dues structure beginning in 2006 to strengthen the membership and identity of AIRS on a state and national level, improve communication, streamline processes, deliver key services, increase revenue, and advance the capacity of information and referral providers to better serve their communities. Changes in the membership structure include the following: AIRS now has a single membership structure for both AIRS and the VAIRS Affiliate, whereby an individual, agency or organization will join both associations at a level that best meets their individual needs. Individuals, agencies or organizations will not need to, nor be able to, join an individual state affiliate only; i.e. each individual, agency or organization is also a member of AIRS. The single membership includes membership in your state or regional Affiliate. You will see, in the tiered membership structure, that it is based on the valuable products you use from AIRS, including the annual training conference and your local affiliate training. You’ll see that there is much more cost benefit in the Enhanced and Premium membership levels than at the Basic and Standard levels. Initially, you might be tempted to go with the Basic level. I encourage you to think about all of the products and services that AIRS offers that are important to your I&R as you select your membership level. AIRS products and services have never been more essential or more valuable. I urge you to carefully document all that you use from AIRS, all that you would like to use from AIRS and weigh the cost benefit of joining at least at the Enhanced level. It will be one of the most cost effective decisions you’ll make as a professional in the I&R field. NEW MEMBERSHIP LEVELS BASIC MEMBERSHIP - $50 STANDARD MEMBERSHIP - $250 for agencies
