    1. Size \u2013 i.e. Number of members in the association<\/p>

    2. Economic Strength, as measured by annual membership fee rates or total membership fee income<\/p>

    3. Any other specific\/local factors affecting finances of the association, including national income levels, exchange rates and other contextual variables<\/p>

    4. Caps apply for very large associations<\/p>

    5. As a supplement to, but not normally in place of, the monetary contributions listed below, the WAU gratefully receives voluntary in-kind contributions from member associations, in the form of conference registration fee waivers to official WCAA delegates, donations of in-kind assistance and local hospitality when a delegates\u2019 meeting is taking place in the home country of a member association, and so on.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The ideal solution would be a sliding scale based on variables derived from these criteria. However, as this would be mathematically complex and administratively burdensome, we are requesting instead that member associations engage in a self-assessment, based on the principles and factors above, to allow them to place themselves in one of the four levels given below:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
