ADA Board recommends dues increase for 2026

House of Delegates to vote in October on budget

The ADA Board of Trustees is recommending a dues rate of $618 for 2026, a $48 increase from 2025.

In 2023, the ADA's full membership dues were $600. For 2024, the dues were lowered to $570, a reduction of $30 that carried over into 2025. The Board of Trustees is now recommending that the $30 reduction be reversed for 2026, and that a 3% increase be added to account for inflation, bringing the proposed 2026 dues rate to $618.

The House of Delegates will meet in Washington, D.C., Oct. 25-28 to discuss and vote on the dues proposal.

Pursuant to the ADA Bylaws, the dues of ADA active members shall be established by the House of Delegates as the last item of business at each annual session. The resolution to establish the dues of active members for the following year shall be proposed at each annual session by the ADA Board of Trustees. The dues resolution may be amended to any amount by the House and requires a 60% affirmative vote for adoption (ADA Bylaws, Chapter XII, Section 50).
