What’s the Difference Between Membership Standing and Membership Status?
  1. Membership Status reflects whether your membership is Active, Expired, or Pending.
  2. Membership Standing determines your eligibility for event participation and exclusive perks:
    • Good Standing: Members active for at least one year OR those who chose the $25 five-year membership. You can participate in meetings, have voting rights, and submit event requests and proposals.
    • Not in a Good Standing: First-year members or those with unpaid dues. You can attend events but cannot participate in meetings, vote, or submit event requests or proposals.
