MCAA Membership Renewal

Words: Bob AbelIt’s that time of year again…and soon you’ll be receiving your July 2010 — June 2011 MCAA membership renewal notices in the mail. Invoices were sent out on May 20 and I have just a couple of quick reminders to help make renewing your membership with us easy & hassle-free:

This year again you have the option of renewing your annual membership online (username and password required). We had this option available for the first time last year and many of our members took advantage of it. If you’d prefer, you can still mail in your payment when the invoice arrives. It’s up to you!

Remember, you can also choose to renew your membership with us through our monthly payment plan. We simply schedule 12 monthly installments to be automatically deducted from a business banking or credit account in order to cover the cost of your annual dues commitment. Please contact our office at 800-536-2225 and we’ll send you the appropriate authorization forms. Or send me an email at bbirdsell@masoncontractors.org and I’ll be happy to get you started. As always, membership in the MCAA represents an annual commitment so the monthly payment option is simply another way to pay the annual dues.

As always, we appreciate your continued support and industry leadership. Have a great 2010 and 2011!
