WLA Individual Rates Restructure Proposal

The WLA Finance Committee proposed an individual member rates restructure this year, which was approved by the WLA Board at its meeting on Aug. 9.

In accordance with WLA’s bylaws, the proposal was put forth to WLA members to officially approve or reject the change to rates. In WLA's recent elections, the proposal was placed on the ballot and APPROVED by membership, to take effect Jan. 1, 2025:

Individual Employee Rates (by Salary)	Dues
Up to $40k	$25
$40k to $60k	$50
$60k to $80k	$100
$80k to $100k	$150
$100k and up	$175
Other Individual Rates	Dues
Student	$20
ALA/WLA Joint Student	$46*
Retired/Unemployed	$25
Friend, Trustee, Foundation, Nonprofit, Library Supporter	$25
Business	$50

* This rate is determined by the American Library Association.

The WLA Finance Committee has proposed an assessment of the impact of the rate changes on the membership tiers within 2-3 years of implemented change to calibrate membership rates.

Current rates through the end of 2024 may be viewed at wla.org/individuals.
