For OIADA Members
Executive Summary: Response to Recent NIADA Communication
A number of OIADA members have recently received a letter, email, fax or other form of communication from NIADA addressing OIADA’s disaffiliation with that organization and offering an option to join NIADA for $60.00. The NIADA communication has created confusion for the membership, leading some to question whether they are required to join NIADA in order to retain OIADA membership status. The OIADA staff wants the membership to understand two particular points:
- OIADA members are not required to join NIADA.
- Certain comments in the NIADA communication are not necessarily factual.
With those objectives in mind, a complete – albeit lengthy – response has been prepared. The response with all supporting documentation is posted on the OIADA website for those who may be interested.
Following is a brief summary of the issues:
Why was the Magazine Agreement with NIADA cancelled?
- To increase revenue and to provide more timely information to members.
Why did OIADA disaffiliate from NIADA?
- To overcome a revenue shortfall for OIADA
- We are not convinced that the benefit of membership in NIADA outweighs the risk and cost to our members. When faced with the choice between raising the cost of our membership or lowering the expense, the latter was the obvious choice to provide our members with the "most bang for their buck.”
- Now, for the first time, OIADA members have the option to join or not join NIADA.
- Instead of raising the dues amount for every member to cover that cost, those who want to continue to be included in NIADA can invest the extra $60.00 and those members who don’t can keep that money in their pockets.
Thank you,
Odell & Rose Morgan
