Standardized Membership Due Date

ACCT Updates,

We are making some changes to the membership in an effort to streamline communication and simplify the billing of your membership by standardizing all members to be invoiced on the first day of the month and due by the last day of the month, with a possible loss of member benefits happening if payment is not received by the due date. With this change, there will be no loss of days in your membership, just a shift in when you will receive an invoice and when you will be expected to have a payment submitted. There will also be no change to the membership policy, this is strictly for efficiency and simplification for the association and for you.

This change simplifies your billing - you will receive an invoice on or near the first day of the month in which you signed up, the following year, and you will have until the end of the month to submit a payment. Per the membership policy, payments postmarked by the due date will be accepted as if they had been received by the due date, with a maximum grace period of 14 days for delivery.

Communication will be streamlined - We have been making an effort to communicate as effectively and efficiently as possible to keep you informed on what is happening within the association and industry as a whole. This means that each member will receive more direct and evenly distributed emails each month.

For the association - This enhances our processes and makes our budgeting and projections more accurate. 

While we feel this is a small change, we hope it will have a very positive impact. If you are in need of a statement noting this change or if you have any questions or concerns related to it, please reach out to us at Office@ACCTinfo.org.
