|  |     Personnel Policies and Procedures 4.21 says that the company usually
    does not pay such dues. Exceptions can be made if the membership
    is directly related to the employee's vocation and if the department
    as a whole can benefit from magazines, etc.

|  |     Some cost centers pay for membership.  Mine doesn't.  I wish it
    did; if it did, I would join IEEE, but since it doesn't, ACM is
    expensive enough for my budget.

|  |     I have been a member of the American Society for Quality Control
    for nearly 20 years and 3 other employers. ALL of the other employers
    paid my dues. Only Digital has not. I have been a highly active
    member in the past including working with headquarters on major
    conventions ( QUAL-TEST I&II) as Programs Manager. The lack of support
    of Digital is at the best deplorable. I am now a Senior Member of
    ASQC.

|  |     If you are a highly active member I am almost positive that
    DEC is funding some of your activity in terms of travel,company
    resources (phones etc.).
    
    Some of my past employers have paid my dues some have not. All 
    have supported the activity when this was stated upfront that it
    was important to me.
    
    DEC doesn't pay dues I would imagine because of the cost-multiply
    x employees times average professional dues and it is a good
    sized figure.
    
    I too am a senior member,have been at DEC for 8 years. DEC
    has been very good in support of ASQC activities. As DEC'S
    corresponding member why don't you give me a call and we will
    talk.
