The Renew a Company Membership tool is used to renew one memberships for a company. The memberships being renewed will usually be current, but in some cases, expired memberships may be renewed. The new membership type isn't always the same type as the old membership. Options for managing the membership renewal process include setting the start date, and determining whether this membership will be sent through the normal membership renewal steps, or if this is a moderated or fee-based membership, whether to bypass these steps by automatically approving this membership.
Information about the renewed membership, including the state of the membership with respect to the renewal process, will be committed to the KaviŪ Members database immediately.
