What do I receive for my annual international dues?
Your international membership entitles you to a whole host of benefits. They include a wonderful variety of member publications and communications (including this Web site!), an invitation to attend the annual international convention, an opportunity to participate in Quota International service programs, and more. Don't forget to log on to our We Share Foundation Web Site, which brings the world of Quota directly to your home or office.

What else is funded by my international membership dues?
In addition to the membership benefits you personally receive, your dues help fund club, district, and area programs, services, and publications.
