As a new Professional Member of CMAA, we want to make sure you understand what renewals will look like moving forward. The CMAA National membership term runs from November 1 through October 31 each year and first-year dues are prorated for those joining between April 1 and August 31.
Your joining date is the date of your completed application and payment, not the date you receive your welcome email. If you have any questions about your dues or the application process, please contact the Membership Department.
You have these options as a new member to join CMAA:
Joining in April-July
Dues rate: You will pay the prorated National dues rate of $262.50 and your corresponding Chapter dues rate.
Renewal timeline: In mid-August, you will receive your second-year National dues invoice in the amount of $675 due by October 31 (the end of the membership term).
Advantage: You will pay the prorated rate, which will cover you through October 31.
Joining in August
Dues rate: You will pay the same amount as if you joined in April through July.
Renewal timeline: You will be on the same schedule of renewing your National dues by the end of October.
Advantage: You will pay the prorated rate, which will cover you for three months (August-October). And once you renew your National dues, you will receive a complimentary Education-Only registration to the upcoming World Conference & Club Business Expo valued at approximately $1,000.
Joining in September
Dues rate: You will pay the full National new member rate of $525 and your corresponding Chapter dues rate.
Renewal timeline: Your membership will not expire until next fall.
Advantage: You will essentially receive a few months of membership free of charge.
Please note: your Chapter dues renewal will be sent to you separately and may be on a different schedule from your National dues renewal.
Review your options and make your choice to join when it is right for you!
