Renew memberships for a FUTURE membership year

Get a head start on your roster for the next membership year.
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).

Begin in the roster system under Manage Memberships.

Use Search and Advanced Search to locate the membership(s).

  1. Select Student or Alumni – The default is Student unless you only have Alumni responsibilities
  2. Verify the current Membership Year is selected – The default is the current Membership year
  3. Verify your Chapter is selected – Your chapter should be the default unless you manage multiple chapters
  4. Under Advanced Search, narrow your search results by one or more of the following:
    • Membership Type
    • Submission Level Status
    • Grade
    • FFA ID
    • First Name and Last Name – Entered partially or completely
  5. Click Search
Tip

If your search does not produce the desired results, try narrowing or expanding your results by changing the search parameters.

With the membership(s) identified, you can now proactively renew the membership(s) for the next membership year.
  1. Select Membership(s) to be renewed by one of the following methods:
    • Select checkboxes to renew one or more memberships
