The committee put into place some procedures that should prevent us from losing members during the renewal process. CALL now has a renewal grace period so that those who have not renewed will not be placed on inactive status. We also have renewal reminders on a set schedule in Neon. Need the membership due email schedule, membership overdue email schedule, and grace period memorialized in the Handbook. The Handbook or shared Neon documentation should also remind committee members that all dates on emails need to be updated and the sender changed from the current President to the incoming President/current Vice-President.

The CALL Directory was produced once this year, in May. Corrections/updates are made by the Membership Committee. Then, the update is posted by the Internet Committee on CALL’s website.
