Why renew a membership for a future membership year?
By late June or mid-July, you may already know which members are returning for the upcoming membership year. So, why not get a jump start on your roster? Chapter leaders and state leaders can proactively renew memberships for one future membership year. Memberships renewed for the future cannot be submitted for state approval until that membership year officially begins (August 1).
