Membership Renewal DELAYED
November 1st is historically when ZRA opens its membership renewal period, so some of you might be ready and excited to renew for 2026. However, this year we will be opening the renewal period on November 15th instead of November 1st.
The reason for the delay is that we are working hard to get the new website up and running. We are scheduled to launch the new site on November 7th, right after the Annual Business Meeting in Miami. Any changes made to the current site would slow down the process of transferring information to the new site, and just make the process more complicated than it needs to be.
Thank you so much to everyone for your patience as we build the new site and for your flexibility to hold off on renewing for two weeks! See you in Miami!
