I’ve finalized the Q2 2026 membership renewal process (memberships expiring June 2026).

This week, I updated the membership database by changing 20 Regular Members and 11 Associate Members to Inactive status.

The good news is that 128 of the 159 members due for renewal successfully renewed, resulting in an 80.5% renewal rate for the quarter.

Over the past two months, I made every effort to reach members before their memberships expired. This included:

Four rounds of renewal reminder emails sent to the email addresses on file.
Telephone calls to members who still had not renewed by July 7.
Follow-up reminder postcards mailed to those same members.

If your membership was due in June 2026 and you didn't receive a reminder email, please check your spam or junk folder. If there wasn't one there, it's likely we don't have a current email address for you.

Likewise, if you didn't receive a reminder postcard, it's a good indication that we don't have a correct mailing address on file. Please take a moment to verify and update your contact information so you don't miss future renewal notices.

As we've seen in previous quarters, I expect a handful of these members will still renew in the coming weeks or months. However, it's important that each quarter be closed out consistently, so the Q2 2026 renewal cycle has now been finalized and archived. Any late renewals will, of course, be processed promptly and reflected in future membership reports.

As you can see in the graphs above, we continue to have an issue retaining members after their first year of membership. Identifying ways to improve the benefits to keep more members beyond the first year is one of the priorities that we are addressing as a board. I welcome any and all suggestions about how we can improve in this area. Remember Membership is something that we all need to be involved in!

We now move onto Q3 where we have 90 total memberships set to expire (84 Regular & 6 Associates).

As always, If you don't know when your membership expires, please check the Membership Tracker on the ChipGuide, or send me an email at Membership@ccgtcc.com and I will be happy to tell you.

Thank You.
