It is a good question! There is really only one good way to check. Login to your CAC account by clicking here. From there, you can check the date that your next dues payment is due. It will be next to the words "Renewal due on."
Here are a few things to remember:
- If you first applied for CAC membership anytime after December 1st, your dues for the upcoming December 1st are already paid. For example: I applied on 2/5/2011. That means I don't have to pay dues until 12/1/2012.
- If you are a current member and you upgraded your membership anytime after December 1st and paid the upgrade fee, that counts as your dues that would have been due that December. For example: I upgraded and paid my $80 on 8/25/2011. That means I don't have to pay dues until 12/1/2012.
Also Please Note:
- All dues payments RECEIVED December 2nd through January 31 must include a $25 late fee.
- After January 31 of each year, if your dues remain unpaid, your membership will be suspended and you will be required to re-apply for CAC membership.
- If your employer is paying your dues, please contact the CAC Treasurer.
- If you are having technical problems paying your dues online, please contact Member Services.
