Below you’ll find answers to common questions about the Community Council’s transition to a unified annual membership renewal cycle.
What is changing and why?
What is the new renewal schedule?
All memberships will renew annually on April 1.
Invoices will be sent March 1, with payment due by March 31.
Do I need to do anything right now?
No. You don’t need to take any action at this time.
You will receive your invoice on March 1 with your prorated amount and next steps.
Will I receive reminders?
How does this affect my current renewal date?
To align all members to the new cycle, your March invoice will include a one‑time prorated amount based on your current expiration date.
After this year, you will renew at the standard annual rate each March.
How is the prorated amount calculated?
We use a simple, transparent formula:
(Annual Membership Fee ÷ 12) × Number of Months Until March 2026
Will this change the cost of membership?
Will I lose any membership benefits during this transition?
Does this affect my member benefits for 2026?
What if my membership recently lapsed?
If your membership lapsed within the last 3 months, you’ll receive a Welcome Back message with a prorated renewal option.
If it has been more than 4 months, you’ll receive a We Miss You invitation to rejoin.
What if my renewal date was originally later in the year?
What happens after this year?
All members will renew annually in March at the standard rate.
No more prorating or midyear renewals.
