Thank you for supporting ARCSA!

On October 18, 2018 the ARCSA Board of Directors approved a series of revisions to the Association's membership dues structure. Staff is currently working to implement those changes. We expect this process to be completed by November 1, 2018. 

Until this transition is completed, please do not proceed with your dues transaction as your membership selection may not be considered valid after the Board-approved changes go into effect.

New and renewing members should contact Jeff Falcusan, ARCSA's Executive Director with inquiries related to membership. Thank you, and we apologize for this temporary inconvenience. 

Compliance with the Tax Reform Act of 1993 requires that the portion of dues attributable to lobbying and political activities at the State and Federal levels of government be considered nondeductible for income tax purposes.  Your dues payment to ARCSA as a business expense for the year 2017-2018 will be limited by the percentage of dues that went towards supporting lobbying activities, and only the remaining portion of your dues can be claimed as a business expense on your federal tax return.  For 2017, the percentage of non-deductible dues for lobbying is estimated to be 20% of dues.

In addition, contributions (including member dues) to ARCSA are not tax deductible as charitable contributions. However, they may be tax deductible under other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Tax deductible contributions can be made to the ARCSA Foundation a 501(c)(3) organization.
