OAR Dues Increase for 2011
On October 13, 2010, the Oklahoma Association of REALTORS® (OAR) Board of Directors voted to increase their 2011 annual dues in the amount of $39.00. Because the GTAR Bylaws require dues to be billed on October 1 of each year, this increase was not included in your original dues statement. According to OAR’s Bylaws, GTAR is required to collect OAR annual dues. The additional $39 will be due by February 1, 2011. An additional invoice will be posted to your GTAR account and a notice emailed today, November 1, 2010. If you have a credit card on file for payment of your GTAR dues, payment will be applied today. Questions about the OAR dues increase should be directed to OAR at 800-375-9944.
Attention: New Member Processing
During the months of November and December, all new members to GTAR must pay prorated 2010 dues PLUS 2011 dues and the application fee at the time of application.
