Ihe proposed annual dues program would be flexible program by which each member of INAC would be billed quarterly from INAC headquarters according to their particular financial position and degree of committment to the movement It was also suggested that certain members may not want their nanes on INAC membership lists and could therefore pay their dues to their unit chairperson who would forward same to the national office_
Under the proposed voluntary pledge program, INAC menbers supporters and units would be invited to pledge a sum of money each month on a voluntary basis_ INAC headquarters will develop a list of possible pledgers through advertising, direct mail solicitations and through their regional units_ It is thought that once this program is developed , little further effort will be necessary in order to insure that large sums of steady income will be generated to INAC
