For the first time in history, GSUSA has called a Special Session of the National Council, which will be held on Saturday, October 19. The National Board is proposing an increase in membership dues to address certain longterm rising costs, particularly around technology. The National Council is required to vote on an increase in dues of more than 25%; therefore, GSUSA is holding this Special Session in mid-triennium, rather than wait for the regularly scheduled next National Council Session in July 2026.
Please see here to review the proposals (found on p. 10-14) and the background and rationale for the proposals. For FAQ's regarding this proposal, click here.
