MEMBERSHIP

Renewal Policy & Procedure

  • Your membership is good for 12 or 24 months.
  • You’ll get an automated email 90 days out from renewal to complete and submit your renewal application.
  • Submit your renewal application no later than 30 days out.
  • Membership uses that 30 days to meet with you, meet with the chapter, review PALMS, and determine your renewal status.
  • Once you’re confirmed renewed, payment is due prior to your renewal date.
  • If you miss these timeframes, the Membership Committee is under no obligation to rush your application sooner than 30 days from receipt.
  • If you aren’t renewed and paid before your 89th day, BNI charges a late fee. That’s a BNI corporate policy, not controlled at the chapter level.
  • As always, talk to the Membership Committee or Senior Leadership about any extenuating circumstances. Those are handled subjectively and with compassion.
