Membership Renewal
Members must pay their annual membership fee to remain active Members and to continue to receive all membership benefits.
Membership is only considered ‘uninterrupted’ if the annual membership fee is paid on a regular basis (i.e. every year with no interruptions), thus in order to remain an active Member, the membership fee must be settled each year. Click here to renew your membership.
