ARTICLE 14 3. COLLECTION OF DUES IN TRUST:
All payments made by Individual Members and/or Chapters for JCI dues shall be held in trust by the Chapters and the National Organization, be included in the next membership registration and remitted in full to Junior Chamber International by the National Organization with its next dues payment.
- COMMENTS ON ARTICLE 14-3:
- This article must be included in the National Organization’s Constitution, as dues collected or remitted in the name of JCI (or any level of the organization) is to be held in trust and remitted in full to JCI regardless of where collected. Every Chapter and National Organization is obligated to enforce this policy to ensure accurate membership declaration and avoid Chapters’ or National Organizations’ collecting JCI dues from members and failing to send it to JCI.
