Membership Renewal Process
All memberships have a one-year term. The Membership Coordinator is responsible for maintaining up to date membership records. The Membership Coordinator (or designated person) will send email and/or regular mail renewal reminders at the following intervals:
If no response to the above reminders has occurred 30 days after the member's renewal date, the member will be considered a Lapsed Member, their name will be removed from the VRA webpage (if applicable), member benefits will cease, and they will be placed on the “Lapsed Member” list. The Membership Coordinator (or designated person) will maintain a Lapsed Member list, including contact information. The VRA Board will send 3-4 emails/year to this list inviting lapsed members to renew and highlighting VRA activity.
Renewal forms will solicit updated contact information including email, physical address, business name, business webpage, and phone numbers. Renewals can take place online using the “Renew Your Membership” button on the VRA Home page, or by mailing a check and completed Membership Form to the Membership Coordinator.
First-time memberships, including a copy of the appropriate Reiki Certificate, dues, and completed Membership Form, will be mailed to the Membership Coordinator.
- One month prior to the membership expiration date an email reminder will be sent. If the email is returned, a postal mail reminder will be sent.
- On the member's expiration date, if no response from the first email, a second email and postal mail reminder will be sent, indicating removal from the membership list and webpage (if applicable) if no response within 30 days from the date of membership expiration.
If no response to the above reminders has occurred 30 days after the member's renewal date, the member will be considered a Lapsed Member, their name will be removed from the VRA webpage (if applicable), member benefits will cease, and they will be placed on the “Lapsed Member” list.
