Membership Changes for 2012
Effective January 1, 2012 MBCA membership dues will increase as follows:
U.S. Canadian & Int'l
Membership Dues Membership Dues
1 Year Was $45 Will Be $49 Was $55 Will Be $59
2 Years Was $87 Will Be $95 Was $107 Will Be $115
3 Years Was $127 Will Be $139 Was $157 Will Be $169
5 Reasons for the 2012 Dues Increase
1. It has been 12 years since MBCA last raised its dues
2. 2012 dues represent an increase of less than 9% over 2011
3. MBCA has been able to avoid a dues increase for more than a decade but increasing
operating expenses makes it virtually impossible to avoid a modest increase today
4. The list of MBCA member benefits and discounts has markedly expanded in the last two years.
Please see the 2/3 page advertorial in the January/February issue of The StarŪ magazine for
details or visit www.mbca.org/member-benefits for a complete list of benefits
5. We want to ensure that MBCA can continue to meet its promise/value proposition: To be an
enduring and sustainable Mercedes-Benz enthusiast organization known for nurturing and inspiring
the Mercedes-Benz experience
