Notice on updates to membership management

Dear members:

We are in the process of updating our membership management services and dues renewal process. If you received an email message on Dec. 23 asking you to renew your dues by going to a WordPress website, please ignore the request as it was simply a test that was sent out by mistake.

An email reminding members to renew dues will be sent in late January, 2025 using the same process as in the past via the PayPal service. If you need your membership number in order to renew, please contact Ann Benbow at MSA via the Membership tab on the home page.

In mid-2025, we intend move to a more secure membership management system for which each member can establish an individual account and manage their access to membership more directly. Thank you for your continued support of the Geological Society of Washington while we make this transition!
