RETAINING MEMBERSHIP PRIVILEGES

Payment of dues on an annual basis does have its privileges, not the least of which is retaining access to Branch activities, educational resources and seniority of access to Life Membership.  If you happen to miss a year then it is incumbent upon you to pay the outstanding year(s), especially if you have retained access to and or participated in Branch activities although in most cases, unpaid dues will result in non access to Branch activities.

In the event you have allowed your membership to lapse (automatic after 2 years), you may still pay the outstanding amounts to retain status or pay an additional fee to reinstate your membership ($30.00 + tax).  However, be aware that a reinstatement will interrupt the minimum required length of paid membership should you be in a position to apply for Life Membership.       *note, an MDCA membership alone is not possible.
