Rolling Memberships
For most of our recorded history, memberships followed the calendar year, expiring on December 31 no matter when you joined.
Beginning October 1, 2024, we are converting to a rolling membership system. From that point forward, your membership will continue one year from the date you enrolled or renewed. After that it will renew automatically.
The New Professional membership will convert to a Professional Membership after 1 year if not renewed before expiration. Likewise, the Student membership will convert to a New Professional membership if not renewed before expiration.
Colleague Referral Program
When you enroll or renew, you can now request a Colleague Referral Promo Code. You can give this to a colleague, and they will get a $25 discount if they pay online within 7 days. Note that this colleague can be any person, inside or outside your organization, who would qualify for a membership.
To get your Colleague Referral Promo Code, enroll or renew your membership, then email rcc@religioncommunicators.org and request it.
Each colleague is eligible to request a promo code as well, and in this way you can help a friend or even string together everyone in your organization to enroll/renew at reduced rates.
If you would like to enroll/renew multiple people on their behalf and at the same time, you can skip the line of codes. Contact us for one promo code to cover the whole lot.

The short version? We are professional communicators working in many different jobs, for different types of organizations, for different faith groups who find RCC to be a place where we can develop professionally, network, fellowship and enrich our personal and professional lives through the organization. We have a place for you here.
