            Gold and Platinum membership fees are not on a sliding scale. The special Gold and Platinum membership levels are based on significant financial contributions typically made by larger organizations. Gold and Platinum members may elect 3 special Gold and Platinum directors each. 
            This system of Silver, Gold and Platinum members and directors provides larger donor-like members special director seats in the board (3 Gold directors and 3 Platinum directors), while also protecting the majority of smaller financial contributing Silver members (7 Silver directors).
