SAOT Membership Year is Changing

Renew Online by clicking HERE

Why is this change being made?
We have changed the membership year to coincide with the ACOT registration year and the SAOT corporate fiscal year. Beginning December 1, 2011 you will now see a link from the ACOT registration confirmation page to allow you to click through and purchase your SAOT membership. We are hoping this will be easier for members and will remind potential new members of the importance of joining the provincial Society.

Your current policy will remain valid until April 30, 2012. If you choose to renew your policy for 2012-2013 before April 30, 2012 your policy renewal will be in effect for a full 14 months to accommodate the change.
