Membership Renewal
Membership renewal takes place on a rolling basis. Watch your email for a renewal notice, or renew now using these instructions. Please note:
-
Institutional Members: If your institution wishes to process all institutional membership renewals at once and generate a single invoice, a dues representative must be designated. The dues representative does not need to be a member of LLSDC. To designate or update the dues representative for your institution, please e-mail membership.llsdc@gmail.com with the name and contact information of the person you wish to manage your memberships.
-
Since LLSDC is a 100% volunteer organization, online renewal is requested. Renewing your membership online allows you to print an invoice and mail a check, or process payment electronically, but please renew online.
-
Payment options include check, PayPal and credit card.
