2025 BAAA Member Budgeting Guide

QUICK LINKS: Membership Events Education Sponsorships & Advertising


Welcome to the BAAA Member Budget and Planning Guide!  We know you are always looking for ways to best prepare for your future budgeting. This guide is intended to help you with planning your investment in BAAA programs and events for 2025.  Please note, we will be updating this page as the BAAA calendar and offerings evolve for 2025, so pricing and scheduled dates are all subject to change. Be sure to check the BAAA Calendar for the most current information.

Use the tabs below to navigate through each budget section. Have questions? Let us know!

Membership

When will we receive our renewal invoice?
As a reminder, renewal dues invoices will be emailed out in November 2024 with a due date of January 1, 2025. Dues received after March 1st will be charged a $50 reinstatement fee. Note:  Florida/NAA/Blue Moon lease users are required to maintain membership in good standing in order to access the lease.
 
Don't forget about the voluntary $35 Advance the Industry contribution that will be included in your renewal invoice. This contribution benefits our advocacy efforts at the local, state, and federal levels. Through our government affairs efforts, we have saved our members millions of dollars, and the Advance the Industry fund will help us continue to fight onerous legislation.
Prorated Membership Dues

If your community or company joined after January 1st, your dues invoice for following year will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the period of your membership.  Since a full year's worth of dues were paid when joining, you will receive a prorated dues invoice in November for the following year.

For example, if you joined on March 31st, 2024, your 2025 dues would be priced based on April 1st - December 31st.

 

Our board and staff have tried to create a simple dues structure so that our members can easily tell how dues are calculated.  To calculate your annual dues payment, you simply need to multiply the number of units in your community by the unit price found below. New members will be charged a $20 application fee.

For example, if you have 250 units your dues would be:  250 x $3.95 = $987.50
