Full and retired members have the option of renewing their membership (including division memberships, voluntary contributions, sustaining membership, and certification licence fee) for five years at a time.

The five-year renewal fee will be calculated as five times the current year's renewal (not including ETF donations). The fees are non-refundable. Because contributions to the Educational Trust Fund are tax deductible, donations made to the ETF will be receipted, in their entirety, in the renewal year in which they are received.

Members taking advantage of this prepaid membership option will be protected from increases in membership fees during the five year period and will not have to do anything to maintain their membership for the full five years.

Full details on how to take advantage of this will be available during the renewal process.
