CSHP’s membership term runs from January 1^st – December 31^st but you can join at any time of the year. Membership is official and acknowledged by email and mail when both an application and dues payment is received.

• If you are renewing or/and changing your membership level (any category) or need to update your contact information, you must log into your current listing using your primary email address on file. Please do not create a new listing by filling out a new application. If your membership has lapsed, your membership listing may still be available for updating and renewal.
• Automatic renewal is not required but dues payment on the CSHP web site is an OPT OUT system. At the point of paying dues, you can OPT OUT of auto paying for the next year but not before that point in the renewal process. The office will double check if members have answered the question about whether they want auto payments or not but answering that question does not opt you out of the system. It is a safeguard added just in case we need to manually switch off auto payment when a member did not opt out at the point of payment.
• If you prefer to remit payment by mailing a check, choose "offline" but note that your membership will not be activated until payment is received.
