How to Renew

Becoming a member of OAKE is easier than ever!  

Everything You Need To Know About Your OAKE Membership Account

Welcome to the OAKE website!  Everything you need for your OAKE Membership can be found on this page.

Your OAKE membership begins on the day you have made a payment and lasts for one (1) calendar year. The OAKE website will show a “Renew” button when your membership is getting ready to expire. If you’re not seeing a Renew button when you are logged in, this is because your membership is current and not ready to be renewed yet. Once ready, click “Renew” and one year of membership will be added to your account. 

All Active OAKE Memberships will have access to the Members Only section of the website. You can find our Member only pages under the “Member Area” menu. Go here to find out more about annual OAKE elections, how to Get Involved with OAKE activities, and more. 

To find out when your membership is due to expire, go to the “My Account” page. 

How To Renew:

  1. Click “Log In” from any page on the website.
  2. Log in with your EMAIL and Member ID as your PASSWORD
  3. Once logged in, look for the “Renew” button at the top of the page.*
  4. Click “Renew” and submit your application.

*Didn’t See a Renew Button?

This means your account is Active and not ready to be Renewed yet. You can check your expiration date by going to “My Account” and looking at your Membership details. You can also update your mailing address, Chapter affiliation, and more. 

How Do I Change My Contact Email?

The email address we’ve used to get your account started is the last known email address on file.  If you would like to change your email address, you will be able to do this through the “My Account” page.  Once you have renewed, your new Membership Card will be emailed to the current email address on file.  

Having Trouble?

If you’re having trouble remembering your prior email address or Member ID, click on “Request New Password” from the Log In page. Feel free to contact us anytime at [email protected] or by phone during office hours at 310.441.3555.
