Instructions for completing your membership Dues form - DEADLINE AUG 1st:

Use ONE form for everyone in your municipality.
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. Email a scanned copy of your form to [email protected] 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.

Membership change starting FY25
The MTCA voted at their annual association meeting on June 6, 2024 that all staff in the Clerks Office would be required to have an Associate Membership ($25 each) in order to have Membership Benefits.

Membership & Conference / Mentoring Payment Policy
