MRCG Membership Change Announcement
Our first-ever virtual vote in January had a response rate of over half our members. 91% voted "yes" to change our renewal date to September 1 of each year (See the results in the post!).
Moving forward, anyone with a 2022 membership will see their membership benefits extended until August 31, 2023.
(If you are unsure about your dues status, please see the 2023 Membership Directory so you can see if you are up-to-date on your dues and getting access to all our membership perks and members-only portal on the new website.)
