Membership runs November 1 – October 31 each year. Members' renewal notices are sent out at the beginning of November. We do understand some companies will prefer to pay in the new year, no penalty is charged for this, we simply ask you to notify MBA by email if this is the case. Accounts must be in good standing to renew membership so if there are any outstanding invoices, we will advise you of such at year-end. It is important that as a non-profit association, we ensure we do not run a deficit at year-end.
