Membership FAQs
What if I become a quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly member in between the specified time periods?
If you select a quarterly rate or higher, and you are more than two weeks into the beginning of a quarter, your payment for the current period will be pro-rated. If you choose to pay by credit card, and you select a quarterly rate, your credit card will be automatically charged at the full rate at the beginning of your next dues period. Please indicate in the note section of the registration if you do not want your credit card to be automatically charged at your next dues period. You can remove auto charging at any time by logging into your account or notifying the Membership Director 5 business days in advance. Any refund requests made after the deadline, will be subject to a $15 processing fee to offset transaction fees. If you select for a half year or year, at the end of your paid period, you will receive an invoice for the next dues period.

See the FAQ below regarding automated charges. If you elected to pay by check, you will receive an invoice indicating the amount due.
Can I still pay by check or cash?

How do I update my payment method or other information ?
If you have already registered with the system you were emailed a username and password, simply log in to your account to make any changes.
