1. Background: Each year, some members have not renewed their memberships on time. Some people have decided not to continue as members and have not told us. Other members have just forgotten to renew. Insurance coverage for our patients and Professional Liability insurance require that the members are meeting the requirements of membership including paying dues and keeping records up to date. We try to contact members that have not paid on time to be sure that they wish to continue. If we do not get an answer after trying to contact them, we don't know if the person wants to continue membership but we cannot tell the insurance companies that they are up to date. We propose a formal policy to accept renewals up to 11 weeks after the start of the PTCMAAS year. 
   Proposed policy: Membership renewals are due by June 1 each year. Payment after June 15 and before August 15 will be charged a late-payment fee of $10. Memberships that are not renewed by August 15 will be discontinued, and the names will be removed from the active membership list.This may affect some patients' eligibility for insurance reimbursement and may also affect the member's eligibility for professional liability insurance. Individuals who have not paid by August 15 and wish to continue their membership in PTCMAAS will be required to reapply for membership including paying the application fee. 
   Motion: approve the proposed policy effective immediately.
