During its October 25, 2025, meeting, the Executive Council approved a modest dues adjustment and a small service charge, which will be effective January 1, 2026:
• $4.00 increase for Adult, Senior, Park Pilot, Three Month Trial, and Affiliate memberships
• $5.00 increase for Youth memberships
• $3.00 service charge for credit card or PayPal transactions
• $5.00 increase for club charters
We understand that any increase in cost is unwelcome. This decision was made only after extensive discussion and careful consideration. Over the past few years, inflation and rising operational expenses have affected nearly every aspect of AMA’s work, from insurance and advocacy to events and member support.
Before making this decision, we looked for every alternative, including expanding non-dues revenue, cutting expenses where possible, and reviewing our member programs to make sure they continue to provide meaningful value.
These adjustments will help AMA maintain the high level of service, advocacy, and support that our members expect and deserve, continuing a tradition that has strengthened the model aviation community since 1936.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support of the AMA and the hobby we all share.
