M E M B E R S H I P M A T T E R S Where the best in the tree care industry come together Dues Renewal Wrapping up at MAA The MAA office has been busy processing membership renewals. With so many members renewing online, we have been able to keep paper consumption to a minimum. Thank you! If you still need to renew, please do so soon. Memberships remain in a grace period for the first quarter of the year before being deacti- vated. Are you taking full advantage of your member benefits? Did you know that you can post a bio and a photo or company logo in your MAA membership account? At the MAA home page, under MEMBERS, select UPDATE YOUR PROFILE. You can add text to the BIOGRAPHY field or upload an image. Be sure to click SAVE after you’ve added information. Are you hiring for spring 2020? Be sure to post your job at the MAA website! Follow the Job Postings and Classified Ads link in the members tab. For listing type, select Job Listing. Your job posting will remain at the website for 3 months – or until your job is filled. Recertification in Full Swing As with the dues, submitting your recertification paperwork online is appreciated. Tally sheets are archived electronically to reduce paper consumption so it is best to submit your form through the MAA website with payment. You can do this under the MCA CERTIFICATION tab on the website. Don’t delay! As we go to press, the February 15 MCA recertification deadline is passing and a $50 late fee now applies. We appreciate the professionalism of each and every member of MAA. We encourage your involvement in MAA, welcome your feedback and truly look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming MAA events. Carrie Martin is the MAA’s Membership Manager. She is happy to answer any questions and make suggestions as to how to get the most from your MAA membership.
