Coordination of the fees renewal for chapter's members

Hi all, I hope you are doing fine in these complex times.

I happen to be the (ISC)2 Chapter membership officer (super honoured and happy). I have been tasked to suggest a way to offer a scalable and efficient way to handle members' subscription fees renewal. I've thought something like a fixed date every six months but then I wonder how I manage the proportional amount of the fee itself.

My question is: how do you do it? Could you share with me some advice please?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Wish all a great rest of your week.

First, thanks for volunteering....the membership needs folks like you.

As to the fees, when I was with ISSA, we decided to use a fixed date for the fees. So the question was how did we get everyone on the same date......we divided the fee by 12 (we met monthly) and pro-rated the fees.........so if you are charging $25 a year, the monthly fee would be (25/12) = 2.08 a month (roughly), we then picked out date (let's say June 1 ). From there calculating the fees was just math on a spreadsheet.

This is only one way.

I hope others with opine here and say what they do.

Regards

Our chapter used our website to collect fees and act as a subscription pay gate. Our membership fee is annual and gives you a 1 year membership. The website doing the work, simplified a few things, including taking payments and allowing for re-billing.
