The ISSOTL Membership Committee recommended to the ISSOTL Board, and the ISSOTL Board has approved, the following change to the membership year: 

ISSOTL’s current membership year of October 1, 2016-September 30, 2017 will be extended to December 31, 2017. Therefore, 2016-2017 members will receive 3 free months of membership. Subsequent membership renewals will be on a Jan 1- Dec 31 calendar basis.

Your current 2016-17 membership will also enable you to register for the ISSOTL17 conference in Calgary (http://www.issotl.com/issotl15/node/172), October 11-14 2017, at the discounted membership rate, as well as extend your access to all ISSOTL newsletters, blogs, and membership only resources through December 31, 2017.  Modifying our membership year to align with the calendar year will also allow ISSOTL to better manage membership renewal notices going forward. This change was made in response to member requests for standardization of our membership schedule. We hope that this change will further enhance your ISSOTL membership experience.
