New This May - Subscription Renewals Will Be Emailed

Starting this May, those who have an email address on file will be emailed their subscription renewals - check your inbox for renewal notifications. Renewal notices were previously mailed. The new online system will make it easier for subscribers to update and manage their subscriptions online throughout the year! If your subscription is part of a group subscription, renewals will be sent to the person responsible for managing your group.

This exciting change comes as the League transitions to a new subscription management system for NJ Municipalities magazine. Benefits include:

A new customer portal.
Access to independently update subscription mailing addresses and names online.
Ability to renew online.

Email Tasneem Kapadia, Advertising Manager with any questions.
