5. Membership Fee Process Timeline
WAGGGS calculates membership fees for a whole triennium and communicates this to Member Organisations ahead of the World Conference.
Based on these fees, established at the World Conference, each membership fee year subsequently runs from January to December.
WAGGGS’s Finance Team prepare invoices and distribute them to Member Organisations by 31 December latest each year.
The deadline for payment is 31 January each year.
In line with the global strategic planning processes, the Senior Management Team may propose an inflation rate which will be reviewed by the Audit, Finance and Risk Committee, prior to a recommendation being made to the World Board. The World Board may then decide on the appropriate level of inflation.
The World Board will explain their rationale for any inflationary change, including how the uplift impacts on both WAGGGS and Member Organisations, when the triennial membership fees are published.
