Membership and Dues for ACTC
Membership in the Association is of two types, Individual and
Institutional. Both are yearly in term. All membership is open and
voluntary, though ACTC would encourage individuals who have attended
one conference and intend to attend a second, or those who have
benefited from ACTC projects, to consider seriously the Association’s
need for support to sustain its activities. Again, all proceeds
go to the support of core text liberal education around the world.
Individual Membership $ 50.00 US
ACTC is very proud of the increasing membership and support we
have received from individuals dedicated to the ideals of liberal
education espoused by ACTC.
The individual members of ACTC, representing their institutions
of higher learning across North America and around the world, have
determined that Institutional Membership is a contribution that
should aim at the following levels:
Community Colleges $ 350.00 US
Four Year Baccalaureate Colleges $ 750.00
Comprehensive/Masters Institutions $ 1000.00
Universities $ 1500.00
Three-quarters of our Institutional Members contribute at or above
these levels. We are grateful to all institutions for the support
they give to ACTC. A list of Institutional
Members is available on our website and will, also, be provided
upon request by our ACTC Liberal Arts Institute office. We are proud
of the fact that Institutional Membership has increased nearly four-fold
since 1996, the first year of institutional membership, to 54 in
2004.
ACTC is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit, professional, educational
association. Contributory dues to ACTC are tax deductible. Institutions
seeking further information for contribution purposes are urged
to contact the ACTC Liberal Arts Institute office.
How to Join ACTC
Individuals and Institutions may join at any time, though the annual
conference is an occasion to remind both individuals and institutions
of ACTC’s need for support at the time that conference fees are
collected.
