RENEWAL SEASON IS UPON US!

Last year we suggested that the best way to help the Executive Office during Renewal Season is to stop by and join us for coffee. This year, with more than 8000 members, we're thinking a few beers might be better . . .

The peak of Renewal Season occurs from October through December. Because SCB membership was linked to the calendar year until quite recently, more than 4000 members have renewal dates that fall at the end of the year.

There are three things you can do to help us during this hectic time.

1. Renew early. Our membership system will extend your SCB membership and subscriptions appropriately if you renew before your anniversary date. Renewing early has the added benefit of reducing the number of members who may need help in December. You will receive early renewal reminders by e-mail and paper.

2. Use the Web-based renewal system. Using the secure online renewal system https://www.conbio.org/renew/ and paying with your credit card is the easiest way to maintain your affiliation with SCB and subscriptions. The technology allows us to process your requests automatically and manage the flow of information far more efficiently than by paper. The online system saves not only paper but also time and money. All you need to renew online is your SCB Member ID or SCB Username. You will find one or both in any e-mail you have received from the Executive Office or in the e-mail and paper renewal reminders arriving soon.

3. Stop by the Executive Office and join us for coffee or beer!

To check the status of your membership and subscriptions (which may have different renewal dates) at any time, use the tracking tool at www.conbio.org/status/.
