Automatic Renewals


How do automatic renewals work?

Your membership will automatically renew for additional twelve-month terms unless you opt out of automatic renewals. On your membership renewal date, you will be charged an annual membership fee at the then-current annual membership rate. You can find your renewal date by logging into your SHRM account, and going to My Account. Your membership expiration date is visible on the My Account landing page.

You will receive an email reminder 30 days before your renewal date. You can opt out of automatic renewals at any time up until 24 hours prior to your renewal date, as described further in the cancellations section below.
