Data: The ‘Saving Grace’ of Membership: Grace Periods

Grace periods give members a chance to renew without losing access to benefits and services. According to a January survey from MemberZone, four-out-of-10 associations give a grace period of two to three months. Some offer none at all, and members at a few organizations get more than a year before they see their benefits withdrawn.
