Key Updates:

Uniform Renewal Date: Membership renewals will be processed each January, with payment due by the end of April. Memberships are valid from April 1 to March 31 annually.
Fee Adjustments: To continue supporting the growth and sustainability of our services, there will be a small increase in membership fees. (Details in the attached policy.)Members who paid the full membership fee during the last six months of this fiscal year will receive a 50% credit from their previous fee applied to the renewal rate.

We are confident these updates will streamline our renewal process while maintaining fairness and transparency. The updated Membership Renewal Policy is attached for your review, including detailed information about the fee structure and other administrative procedures.
