One of the questions we are frequently asked is "How are my membership dues spent?"

KINETIK Inc., in Washington, D.C., has developed this Flash movie to help answer the question.

A few points to remember:

• $295 is less than many other professional associations charge.
• Even in tough economic times, AIGA has been able to raise $2 from other sources for every $1 in membership dues.
• In the final analysis, the value of membership cannot be considered without the intangible benefits, which include networking, information, communication and advocacy on your behalf.
