MCAA Membership Renewal

Words: Bob AbelIt’s just about that time of year again & we’d like you to be aware of some of the upgrades we’ve made to help make renewing your membership easy and hassle-free. Renewal notices for the July 2009 — June 2010 term are scheduled to go out on or about May 15th.

For the first time, association members have the option to renew the annual membership online (username and password required). If you prefer, you can still mail in your payment when the invoice arrives. It’s up to you!

Also for this year we’ve made available the option of paying your annual dues in monthly installments. This way you can have the payment set up to be automatically deducted from a business banking or credit account. You simply fill out the attached forms that will accompany your renewal statement & we will schedule the payment. Or you can go to the online renewal site to request this option and we’ll go ahead and send you the appropriate forms. Keep in mind this isn’t a month-to-month membership agreement but rather a way for you to pay the annual dues in monthly increments.

As always, the MCAA appreciates your commitment and continued support. Together We Are Stronger!
