We are updating our process for membership renewal!
With our growing membership base and to standardize the renewal process, membership now needs to renew on September 1st of each year moving forward.
We understand that this new system could negatively impact some of our new members or those that have recently renewed their membership, so we instated the following:
New memberships throughout 2023 -> automatic membership extension until September 1, 2024
Membership renewals after 03/2023 -> automatic membership extension until September 1, 2024
To renew your membership now until September 1 2024, please click here.
We thank you for your patience and understanding.
