Your Auto Renewal setting can be managed in your organization’s Dashboard.

When your organization’s Auto Renewal setting is turned on, we’ll process your membership renewal on the date your membership expires using the credit card on file. 

When your organization's Auto Renewal setting is turned off, you can renew your membership manually by heading to your organization’s Dashboard.
