Which two dates are important membership deadlines for BPA, and why are they important?

• A. November 1st: Memberships are processed to ensure communication about regional and state events; February 15th: Registrations received by this date will be eligible for the NLC
• B. November 15th: Memberships are processed to ensure communication about regional and state events; February 1st: Registrations received by this date will be eligible for the NLC
• C. October 31st: Memberships are processed to ensure communication about regional and state events; January 15th: Registrations received by this date will be eligible for the NLC
• D. December 1st: Memberships are processed to ensure communication about regional and state events; March 1st: Registrations received by this date will be eligible for the NLC

Answer: (A)

Membership deadlines are about timely processing and eligibility for events. Processing memberships by November 1st ensures members receive timely communications about regional and state events, so they know what’s happening and can participate. The February 15th cutoff is the point at which registrations count toward eligibility for the National Leadership Conference, meaning only members active by that date can attend NLC. In short, November 1st keeps everyone informed, and February 15th sets the hard line for NLC participation.
