At its meeting prior to the convention, the NAP Board of Directors approved an increase in national member dues rates for the 2026 membership year. This decision was officially announced during the business meeting the following day.
This marks only the second time in 16 years that the NAP has raised its member dues. The new increase is significantly below the current rate of inflation: while a dollar in 2018—the last time dues were changed—now holds only 78 cents of its original value, the cost of providing member services continues to rise. The updated dues rate will appear on the 2026 invoice that members will receive later this year.
| Member Class | New Dues Rate |
| Regular Member | $99 |
| RP | $128 |

| Retired RP and PRP | $99 |
| Student | $49 |
| Student RP | $64 |

| Youth Groups | $30 |
| Clubs Affiliated Before 1953 | $113 |
