I appreciate all of the candidates answers to the questions put fourth. I have never gotten involved in the accounting of this organization due to commitments to other organization. I know if I need an answer for an Autodesk product come to AUGI first.

I am not against dues though do not have the financial means at this time for even a small amount and do like that there will be option for free membership. My only concern is publication of a hard copy of AUGI Magazine for distribution. In my other organization we finally stopped producing hard copies of our magazine. The cost of printing and mailing to every member was eating away at our budget. As we reduced the number of publications by email only, our cost per issue got higher due to lower bulk printing and mailing.

I always thought AUGI was always ahead of most other organizations using electronic copies of magazine. It is not eco friendly to publish hard copies and the cost do not justify the means.
