MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL
Until now, June 09, membership renewal has been based around the
Associations financial year
ending August 31.
Increasing numbers are joining the NZSSA mid year in order to enrol
with the Open Polytechnic.
These individuals will not be asked to renew their membership for
another 15 to 18 months.
To ensure that all members renew their membership every 12 months
the Executive has agreed
that renewal will now be due 12 months from the date of the previous
payment.
This change from financial year to anniversary date ensures that
all members remain so for 12
months only. Existing anomalies, as outlined above, will disappear.
From now on renewal notices will be mailed on a monthly basis.
Please direct any questions you may have to the Treasurer.
