As part of ongoing efforts to streamline administrative processes and improve service to our members, the Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA) will begin transitioning all membership dues payments to align with CATA’s fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30.

Beginning in June, the CATA will initiate a phased transition to move all membership renewal dates to July 1. This change will ensure a consistent membership cycle across the organization and improve efficiency in planning, budgeting and communication.

How This Affects Members:

• Allied members with June and July 2025 renewal dates will be the first to renew on the new July 1 cycle.
• Allied members with renewal dates of August 1, 2025, or later will receive advance notifications and a prorated dues rate to adjust their membership to the new cycle.

CATA will communicate directly with all affected members well in advance of any changes to ensure clarity and a smooth transition. If you have any questions about how this change might affect your membership, please contact the CATA directly at 630-495-2282.

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to serving you more effectively through this improved system.
