It also affords the intern an invaluable working experience. • Membership dues include MACTA, NATOA, local Chambers of Commerce, and Sam's Club. • • Capital Expenditures • Commission office equipment will include computer and software upgrades. • The equipment grant began as $60,000 and has increased across the years, annually by 3 %.
