Good News, NEDRA Members! Effective this fiscal year and beyond, NEDRA
memberships will now last for one calendar year from the date of joining/renewal instead of automatically terminating on July 1. NEDRA's Board of Directors voted to make this change to its membership protocols in response to feedback from researchers across New England. We hope that this procedural change simplifies the renewal process for members as you continue to enjoy the benefits that come from being a part of the NEDRA family.

NEDRA's bylaws will be changed to reflect this new membership renewal structure. The new language will read as follows:

"For purposes of membership the year shall be defined as beginning on the day on which membership becomes active and ending on the same calendar date of the following year."

We will be taking a vote to ratify this change at the Annual Business Meeting at next year's conference.
