Membership in the CMA is mandatory to be a member of the SCMA or MLCMS. We believe the key to our organization’s strength is its excellent collaborative relationships with CMA and other county chapters. Furthermore, the dual membership helps support state and local activities as well as providing you with additional member benefits.

SCMA and MLCMS accept payment by check, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express credit cards. You can remit a lump-sum payment, or set up a monthly installment plan with a credit card. To sign up for the monthly installment plan, contact SCMA at (707) 525-4375, or MLCMS at (916) 551-2541

SCMA, MLCMS, and CMA dues are not deductible as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes, but may be partially deductible as a business expense. To find out the percentage of your current year's dues that cannot be deducted as a business expense for federal income tax purposes (typically around 33%), please see your invoice or contact SCMA at (707) 525-4375, or MLCMS at (916) 551-2541. Please consult with your CPA or Tax Consultant for additional questions.
