The point of my mentioning any dues increase is that there is no free lunch: if members are calling for recertification processes, they should be prepared to support it with their fair share of the cost. 
On the other hand, that sounds like a nice round figure that you're calling for.

Dues increase Patrick?  So what else is new?  If I raised my rates as much and as often as the PTG raises theirs, I'd be up over $200 for a standard tuning service.

While I doubt that any action would be taken against him, getting the appropriate committees involved may be just the "wake up call" that he needs.

You will see that our elected leadership is considering furthering our "continuing education and training." This of course will need a major "buy in" from the membership (and, yes, probable dues increases) before any such plan is implemented.
