I think it is grossly unfair to take advantage of people who want to stay as 
members to increase their dues to subsidize prospective members who will not 
be attracted to join otherwise.  There is value attached to being a member of 
an organization and one should at least be ready to answer that call with 
their pockets.  If they are unwilling, well that is one indication that they 
do not value the affiliation and they will not be assets to the organization 
anyways.
