About the Membership
The Prevention Alliance of Tennessee (PAT) is a member-based organization. Initiating a membership fee structure allows us to increase the operating budget, particularly unencumbered funds, to allow for additional member benefits, such as access to professional training, organizational sustainability and enhanced advocacy!
Communication is key!
There are 3 primary requirements of coalition members:
✓ Sign the MOU and pay the appropriate fees. You can be selected for our Board of Directors, become an individual member, a coalition member, or all three!
✓ Communicate with regional coalitions the importance, reasoning and benefits of the new membership structure: What are your goals for your community? How can we achieve those together?
✓ Communicate with the PAT CEO any barriers as they arise so plans of action or changes can be implemented!
Annual Investment
-
If your coalition's budget is under $50,000, the annual dues are $50.
-
If your coalition's budget is $50,000-$99,999, the annual dues are $75.
-
If your coalition's budget is $100,000-$149,999, the annual dues are $100.
-
If your coalition's budget is over $150,000, the annual dues are $150.
These funds are not the sole source of income for our organization. The long-term goal is for the money to represent 5-8% of PAT’s budget.
