The ESOP Association, at the direction of the Board of Directors, has been undergoing a change to update the Association’s membership term from an anniversary renewal to a uniform calendar renewal in 2025.
Historically, each member has renewed their membership on the anniversary of their original join date. However, in response to strong interest among our members, the Association has been transitioning all membership renewals to end on December 31, 2025. All members will then begin a calendar year membership in 2026.
We’ve heard from many of our ESOP members that aligning their renewal to a January – December term would make their budgetary planning easier, allowing them to plan to renew the first of each year or use funds remaining in the current year to renew their membership for the following year.
TEA’s professional services firms, many of whom have multiple staff members with membership renewals throughout the year, have also requested we align their memberships to all come due at the same time. This calendar year renewal will make it easier for professional members to plan their annual budgets, while eliminating the need to track down invoices throughout the year.
Beginning in October 2025, all TEA members have begun receiving their 2026 calendar year (January - December) membership renewal invoices. If you have any questions regarding your invoice, please reach out to membership@esopassociation.org
