Analysis/Interpretation

As you would expect, retention dollars track with retention numbers, however in all cases the dollar figure is a bit more positive.  With retention dollars being higher than member retention, this implies that generally retention is higher with those paying higher amounts for dues and lower for the basic memberships. [Please note there was inconsistency in the definition of retention and which chambers reported retention numbers from year to year.]
