Hello League Members,
It's time for many of you to renew. During the month of January, about 40% of our overall membership is up for renewal, so we want to be sure the renewal process goes smoothly! Membership renewal will be a little different this year. To ensure your membership stays current, please renew as soon as you can after you receive a renewal notice.
You should receive renewal notices as follows:
· 60 days prior to expiration from the National League of Women Voters (LWV) – if you are due for a renewal in January, you should have already received your first notification to renew.
· 30 days before expiration from the National LWV
· On your expiration date from the National LWV
· After your expiration date, from LWV Estes Park
You will be considered inactive if you do not renew by 60 days past your expiration.
Here are some important things to know about renewals:
GENERAL HOW TOS
· Renewals are processed through the National LWV portal. You will sign on using your email address and then receive a code through your email to complete the sign on process.
· The recommended dues rate is $75 per member, but you can pay any amount over the minimum dues rate of $20.
· To renew online, go here https://portal.lwv.org/. You can do this even if you do not receive the renewal notices!
· To renew manually, send your check and mail it to: LWV-Estes Park; 453 E. Wonderview Ave., Unit 3; PMB 188; Estes Park, CO 80517.
IF YOU FORMERLY HAD A FAMILY/ HOUSEHOLD MEMBERSHIP
The LWV no longer offers family memberships, but when you renew, you will be given the option to also renew for a second person. To do so, check the box on the renew form indicating this and the additional fields for renewing a second person will appear. Two things to be aware of:
· The dues amount you choose to pay will be the same for each member.
· Each member must have a unique email, which the system uses as your sign on.
TO MAKE A DONATION AT TIME OF RENEWAL
When going through the online renewal process, you may use the donate screens to indicate the amount you wish to contribute. This will ensure 100% of your intended donation goes to LWV Estes Park. If you increase your dues amount and don’t clearly indicate that the increase is a donation, the excess will be pro-rated to the national, state, and local leagues for membership using the standard dues allocation of 33%, 47%, and 20%. You may also send a donation check directly to LWV EP at: LWV-Estes Park; 453 E. Wonderview Ave., Unit 3; PMB 188; Estes Park, CO 80517. We appreciate all donations made!
Please contact Membership Director Becky O'Connor at membership@lwv-estespark.org with any questions or issues related to the renewal process. Thank you so much for your prompt attention to this important matter!
Thank you so much for your continued support!
