If I join now, when will my membership begin and end?
Dues are by anniversary and runs from the time you join/renew until the following year during that same time of the year. Invoices are mailed beginning 90 days prior to your expiration date. Full payment is due by your expiration date. Several follow-up invoices are emailed to unpaid members, at 60 and 30 days before your expiration. Can I go online after my membership has expired to renew?You are given a 30 day grace to renew your membership from your expiration date.
