Dear TBA Members:
Effective May 16, 2019 our new member and current members renewal process will be managed by a third party called DUES HUB powered by BillHighway. In the coming weeks, you will receive email communications from BillHighway. PLEASE DO NOT DELETE these notices. Please add this email address to your contact list so that these important messages do not end up in your spam folder. These emails are about your membership in the Tallahassee Builders Association.
There are many advantages to this change for the TBA and our members. We can now offer installment options for your annual dues and we now can offer you the ability to pay via the method of choice (credit card, ACH or check.) It also offers the ability to automatically renew your dues on your anniversary date, and has an online new member application, making it easier to sign up new members right on the spot!
When you get an email from billhighway.com, you will receive a link that takes you to a log-in area to activate your account. You will only have to do this once. After that, you simply log in and pay online. Or, if technology just isn’t your thing, you can still mail a check and the TBA Staff will take care of processing it for your online.
All of the links will be listed on our website and in our MemberZone Database at www.tallyba.com effective on May 16th. Please note we are currently able to offer the payment plan for all May Renewals, just call the office over the next few days and we can activate your payment plan. I hope to make this transition as painless as possible for you. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to contact me at 850.385.1414.
Sincerely,
Linn Glass,
Tallahassee Builders Association
