Why do you have to 'get your dues in'? Being a paid member is not a requisite 
for participating in SCA activities. If there is a group that requires this 
they are in direct violation of the nonprofit laws that the SCA is organized 
in under and in direct violation of SCA, Inc., policy. Such a requirement 
could seriously jeopardize the continuing nonprofit status of the 
organization.

Holding a major office requires paying dues to the Corporation but beyond 
that all such requirements are invalid and completely against Corpora and 
federal nonprofit law with regard to the type of legal entity the SCA is.
