In that first example, the Foundation Membership expired later than
the Sustaining Membership.<br>
<br>
But here's an example where the reverse is true. The Sustaining
Membership expires later than the Foundation Membership.<br>
<br>
Let's say Jane Doe joined the Libertarian Party on 1/1/2015 for $25.<br>
On 7/1/2015, Jane Doe donated $25 for ballot access.<br>
<br>
On 7/1/2016 her "Sustaining Membership" expires.<br>
On 1/1/2016, her "Foundation Membership" expires.<br>
<br>
Although it's probably more technically correct to say that on
1/1/2016, her "Regular Membership" expired. That's because the $25
contributed on 7/1/2015 raised her level from "Foundation" to
"Regular", but did not extend her association level expiration date.

I'm going to give a quick example to explain the difference in the
expirations. I'm not going to be extremely careful about the
terminology I'm using here. So forgive me if I misstate a
particular. <br>
<br>
Let's say John Doe joined the Libertarian Party on 1/1/2015 for
$25.<br>
On 10/1/2015, John Doe contributes another $25 to renew his
membership.<br>
<br>
He never donates any other money.<br>
<br>
On 10/1/2016 his "Sustaining Membership" expires.<br>
On 1/1/2017, his "Foundation Membership" expires.<br>
<br>
Again, I didn't design this system. I've advocated for more
simplicity and clarity.<br>
