If you joined before we launched our new website in June 2021, your previous membership was transferred to our new website. All of these memberships have a renewal date of December 31.

The new website offers a convenient “Auto-Renewal”. This will allow you to set up your subscription to renew automatically each year.

To complete the conversion of all the subscriptions to our new website, all pre-2021 members will need to take action to continue their memberships.

What do you need to do?

There are two steps:

  • Select one of our new membership plans:
    • Member
    • Research Member
  • Select a payment preference
    • Credit Card
    • PayPal
    • Check

Most members are now choosing the convenience of securely paying by PayPal or Credit Card. These options allow your subscription to be set up to renew automatically each year.
