\nStephen asked about follow up for people who have not paid and asked if there is an option as part of the renewal process for people to respond that they do not wish to renew.
\nAccording to Raquel, Mike sent out a survey asking why people have not renewed.
\nAction item:<\/strong> Mike is going to send out a reminder to people who have not paid soon.<\/p>\n
