In other associations, members are receiving more value than ever before, but dues invoices are going unpaid. What can you do about non-renewing members?

When close proximity isn’t possible, relationships of any kind can get dicey. . “Distance makes the heart grow fonder” is what we say when we try to make people feel better about the pain of separation.
