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.
