AOSA, our parent organization, has unified the fee structure for all local chapters.
(The national organization directly impacts our local chapter, most notably by providing liability insurance at no cost).
About Me.
-
There will no longer be a local membership fee. To be a local chapter member (and have voting rights or serve on the board), you must be a member of our national organization AOSA ($94 per year).
-
The requirement to join AOSA to be a local member is waived for 1st year teachers, retired teachers, and undergraduate college students (although we do encourage you to join our national organization). In addition, 1st year teachers and undergrad college students get free workshops and retired teachers have a significant discount.
-
Regular workshop attendees who are not an AOSA member will pay a higher amount for workshops. The additional fees assessed by KOC will be sent directly to AOSA for their operating costs.
-
If you are an AOSA member, we will be offering workshop packages this year at a discount if you pay in full.
-
All AOSA members have one workshop guest pass they can use per year to invite a teacher for free who’s never attended a KOC workshop before.

Below is a table outlining the new fee structure including the AOSA changes.
