- Use ONE form for everyone in your town by completing the office staff information section. This allows the Clerk to determine access to membership benefits.
- Office Staff Information section: You MUST include information for staff in your office when one of the following may apply:
- You want the Staff person to be an Associate Member (recommended if looking to track class attendance)
- You want to provide a membership benefit for them (access to google email or the MTCA Members only section of the website)
- You believe they may attend a conference and you want to grant them permission to attend
- When submitting the payment please have your accounting department verify the mailing address listed on the form (this would not be the same place they would be mailing registration forms for conferences or mentoring sessions).
- A form is required with the payment. We encourage you to email a scanned copy of your form to membershipmtca@gmail.com when you submit it to be paid so we have it and all the important information on it when the check arrives.
- Date first became a clerk - this is the original date (not new one if you moved to a new town) as this is how we do clerk of the year pins, CMMC or mentor qualifications.
