After you have submitted your application for membership and your payment of the appropiate membership fee has been received there will be a short interval until the ECAWA Committee can meet to approve / accept the application, however during this period you are welcome to attend PL activities including the ECAWA State Conference, at ECAWA Member rates.
It is important to remember that even if you have selected a voting membership, you will not be able to vote at any ECAWA General Meeting or be nominated for the ECAWA Committee or nominate any person or second any nomination until the ECAWA Committee has approved / accepted your application for membership.
When you join ECAWA your membership ticket and your Tax Invoice will have a note reminding you of the date by which your membership must be renewed.
We suggest that you add a reminder of this date to your personal calendar at the time you first apply for membership.
When a renewal period is approaching general reminders are posted on ECAWeb and included in emails, however personal reminders may not always be possible, and a member’s responsibility to renew their ECAWA Membership on time.
When you need to renew your ECAWA Membership just go to ECAWeb at https://ecawa.wa.edu.au/join-or-renew/ecawa-memberships/ and select the ticket for the type of membership you are renewing, and follow the same proceedure as you used the first time – except that this time you would choose not “I am applying to join ECAWA” but “I am renewing an existing ECAWA Membership”.
If you do not renew your ECAWA Membership when the renewal becomes due you cease to be a member of ECAWA.
When your membership expires you cease to be a financial member of ECAWA and you are not permitted to to vote at any ECAWA General Meeting or be nominated for the ECAWA Committee or nominate any person or second any nomination.
You will cease to hold any office in ECAWA that requires Membership.
If you wish to rejoin ECAWA you will need to submit a new application for membership and this will need to be presented to the ECAWA Committee for acceptance / approval before you can resume ECAWA Membership.
If you need to re-apply for ECAWA Membership remember to select the option, “I am applying to join ECAWA” as you cannot renew an membership that has ceased to exist, and selecting the wrong option may result in your application being delayed.
YES!
We try to make things as easy as possible for our members to renew their memberships on time, so we make the tickets to renew ECAWA Membership available several weeks before the two renewal dates – however, we also know that slip ups happen, time flies, and we are all so busy…..
So, there is a “grace period” of few weeks from the end of March and the end of September, when you can “catch up” without any drama.
Just make sure that you are able to receive ECAWA emails, so that you don’t miss all the reminders – AND set your own reminder when you take out that membership!
