Existing members keep the rate they joined at. Changing level never costs you time you have already paid for — an upgrade bills only the difference for the days remaining, and a downgrade waits until your renewal date.
What every level includes
The listing is the visible part. The representation is the reason.
Compliance alerts
Rule changes reach you the week they happen, with the deadline and the required action attached.
Association voting rights
A vote on the association's positions and priorities, whatever level you are on.
Regulatory guidance
Comptroller registration, the flavored-product list, county zoning, and audit preparation, in plain language.
