You open your renewal notice. There is a number. What you really want is a map. This article is that map, and it is the membership fees guide you can share with your board, your team, and your members with confidence. We will show where each dollar goes, how pricing decisions get made, how to communicate changes without drama, and how Glue Up helps you publish the story and keep renewals on track. Think of this as a plain-English operating manual for trust. It is specific, data aware, and practical, and it reads like something you would actually send to members.
