Small TTIA Membership Dues Increase in 2012 
  

TTIA will be implementing small membership dues increases in 2012.  Over the past few years, we have held our dues amounts steady in the face of economic challenges being felt by our members.  Our operational costs, however, have continued to rise, leading to this small increase.

 

If you have questions, please contact our office at 512-328-8842.
