It’s Not Too Late to Renew!

The March 31 deadline for 2008–2009 membership renewals may have passed, but if it passed you by—don’t worry. You can still renew!  You can make sure that you receive all your valuable AGA membership benefits without interruption by renewing online today.

How? It’s easy and quick. Simply login to the Members Only section of the website using your membership ID number and password (your first initial followed by your last name—no spaces), click on the gray ‘billing’ icon in the top right hand corner of the screen. Your dues renewal fees will automatically appear (this will include your CGFM renewal if applicable). All you have to do is input your credit card information and hit ‘submit.’ 

 The transaction will process via our secure server and the updated renewal information will be updated in AGA’s in-house membership system. You may still submit payment by mail or by calling the National Office. If you have any questions, please contact the AGA Customer Satisfaction Center at 800.AGA.7211. We will be happy to help. It’s not too late—renew today!
