CEA believes that all counties, large and small, ought to be
represented. So we've made joining CEA easy and affordable through our unique
annual dues payment plan based on a formula of one cent per county resident as
listed in current population figures. For example, a county with a population
of 100,000 will pay annual dues of $1,000. We
also strive to make our dues structure fair and flexible to best suit your
annual
county budget. Our billing cycle begins on January 1 and ends on December 31.
However, counties that join during the fiscal year will pay a prorated amount
for the remainder of the billing cycle. To find out what your county would
