The ARRL website (www.ARRL.org) reports the following interesting rate reduction/age limit changes --subject to the 'discretion of the CEO'. Here's what they concluded, at the January 2020 board meeting-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reduced Dues for Younger Applicants (and 'Senior+' Life Members) The Board approved an amendment giving the CEO discretion to raise the eligibility age for reduced full ARRL membership dues from 22 to 26, provided the rate not be less than one-half of the established rate. In addition, the Board approved the establishment of a reduced-rate, revenue-neutral Life Membership for individuals age 70 or older, with cumulative annual membership of 25 years or more, at an initial rate of $750. Headquarters staff will work out the administrative details of the program, subject to approval of the Administration and Finance Committee. The Board also agreed to allow for a “digital-only” access membership, at the discretion of the CEO, discounted no more than 10% from the established dues rate.
