Renewing Your Membership
Your membership is active for one year from the day you registered.
You will receive an email reminding you to renew 14 days before your membership is set to expire and an invoice on the due date.
We understand in our busy world you may still forget to renew, so you’ll be sent another reminder email 30 days past your renewal date. Additionally, any time you login to your online account, a message will appear in the lower-right corner of the screen reminding you if it’s time to renew. If you renew within 60 days past your renewal date, you’ll continue to be an active member with the same renewal date. If you renew after 60 days past your renewal date, your membership will have lapsed. This means if you want to reactivate your membership your renewal date will change to the date you paid to reactivate your membership. In the meantime, however, you will not be receiving the benefits of membership. So watch for those email reminders and renew right away when you receive the first one!
If you have any questions regarding membership, please send an email to MSPAOnlineWebmaster@gmail.com.
