MEMBERSHIP NEWS Renewal Season Has Started! Thank you for your membership support! BSA memberships run from JanuaryDecember of each year, and our renewal season, which started on October 1, is when we launched our email renewal campaign. You can renew via those emails or renew today at: https://crm.botany.org. Renewing allows you to update your membership information, renew your Sectional Affiliations, donate to awards, the endowment or sections, and give the gift of membership to students or colleagues in developing countries. Not sure if your membership is due to renew? You can always email me at aneely@botany.org and I will be happy to answer any membership questions. For those of you who do not need to renew, you can also take this time to make donations and purchase gift memberships (https:// crm.botany.org). Life or Corresponding

3-YEAR GIFT MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM We are very excited to announce a new Three-Year Gift Membership Program for both Student and Developing Nations memberships. For only $30 you can gift a BSA membership that will keep the Student or Developing Nations member connected and part of the BSA community by giving them access to award opportunities, conference discounts, Society publications, publishing discounts, and the Membership Matters monthly newsletters for a full three years. The 3-year gift memberships can be purchased at any time by visiting https://crm.botany.org or when you renew your membership online. Student memberships are good for the full three years even if the member graduates. One-year gift memberships are also still available for $10.
