Membership Renewals
Thank you to all our SIM Austin Colleagues that have renewed their membership for 2019. We are thrilled to see you again this year!
For our colleagues that haven't renewed yet, we would love to have you continue your membership in 2019 and be part of the Austin SIM Chapter family. If you didn't renew your membership by end of day on April 30th, you will find that your account has been "deactivated". In order to renew your membership once this happens, please send an email to SIM@simnet.org. You will receive an invoice with a link to pay online. Once the invoice is paid, SIM National will reactivate your account.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
