Membership Renewal and Reinstatement FAQs
Q1: I missed renewal deadline by one month, what happens, what should I do?
A: You are now in a suspended status. You should immediately pay your membership dues for the current year and submit a written request for reinstatement. Once processed, your membership and benefits will be restored.
Q2: Inactive for a minimum of seven months, can I still return?
A: Unfortunately, you have been delisted. To regain membership, you must:
Submit a full new application form.
Pay your total membership rate plus a 20% penalty of the amount owing.
Pay the full dues for the current membership year.
Submit a formal written request for reinstatement. Your application will be reviewed, and your professional designation will only be reinstated upon approval.
Q3: What is the difference between “suspended” and “delisted”?
A:Suspended is a temporary hold (6-12 months of non-payment) where your benefits are frozen but your record still exists. Delisted is a permanent removal (after 12 months an above) where your record, credentials, and listing are erased, requiring a full reapplication process.
