Learn four ways to engage members virtually and give them what they need to recharge quickly. Member Engagement   Smart Tips Manage Local Membership For most member-based organizations, membership is a cycle throughout the year. Chapters processing member renewals at the end of the calendar year should be reviewing their system to ensure that everything is prepared for the year’s renewals. For chapters with renewal periods at other times of year, we recommend marking your calendar 3-4 months before that date for this review. For a smooth and low effort renewal process, ensure that the current dues rates are published and available to both renewing and new members, schedule automated renewal notices, and review the chapter’s expiry settings. This workflow will walk you through every step of managing this process within StarChapter.
