New Renewal Process
As of September 7, we have 317 members who renewed their membership, with nearly 60 percent using the new Stripe payments. Our thanks to everyone who has renewed early, especially those who used Stripe, as it really helps to reduce the workload of the Membership team. Many Japanese members still seem to prefer the bank transfer. So if you didn’t use the process this year, we hope you will try it next year – your renewal is processed much more quickly. Using Stripe also saves members time and money, considering trips to the bank and transfer fees.
New Members
We are thrilled to welcome four new Members to CWAJ this past month:
Sijia Che (China)
Luciana Laligi (Brazil)
Ruth McCreery (USA)
Popi Kuroda (India)
Membership Inquiries
We received 15 inquiries for Membership in July, August and the first week of September, and our next Information Meeting is scheduled for September 25.
Information Meeting
On August 28, we hosted an Information Meeting for six non-Japanese prospective members. Four women who attended the meeting have already joined in August.
Resignations
We were notified that three members wanted to resign their membership in CWAJ.
Overseas Members Call
With the success of the recent Highfield Hall Print Show, we are planning another call with our Overseas Members, including members active in organizing the Highfield Hall Print Show and Heidi.
