Renewal Period
The Annual Community Renewal period begins on September 1st and ends on December 31st. Community Renewals are considered past due after January 1st of each calendar year (the due date) and the 30-day grace period begins.
Renewal Notices
Members will receive several e-mail reminders for unpaid community engagement fees up until January 31st. You can also check the status of your membership and renew by going to my.aace.com. If you are a current member and do not have a valid email address on file or have any questions, please send an email to [email protected]. You will not receive a hard copy invoice in the U.S. mail.
Delinquent Members
Any member whose engagement fee remains unpaid after the thirty (30) day grace period ends on January 31 is considered delinquent, will be notified of their status via email, and will be required to reapply.
Members who carry the FACE distinction and fail to renew their membership will need to apply for reinstatement through the FACE application subcommittee.
Automatic Dues Renewal Option
Members can save time and sign up for our automatic dues renewal option by logging into their AACE account.
Multi-Year Payments
Members can submit multi-year payments for 3 years in advance at the current rate. For example, a member renewing for 2026 can submit advanced payments for 2027 and 2028 at the current rate for their tier. These payments are nonrefundable; this includes any requests to downgrade for a refund of the cost difference of tiers. Members who sign up for the multi-year payment option must wait until their paid membership term ends to downgrade their membership. If you are interested in this payment option please email [email protected].
Adjustments to Member Tiers
Upgrades in tiers mid-cycle are allowed (Informed to Engaged). However, downgrades are not permitted except during the next renewal cycle (Engaged to Informed).
Refund Policy
Community engagement fees are nonrefundable. If you have any questions about your membership, please contact us at [email protected].
