Starting in 2019, MAC-ACBS began asking our members to pay a small dues for being in the Chapter. This allows us to be able to continue providing conferences and workshops of quality in a time when presenters and venues are charging increasingly more. As with the main ACBS organization, the dues are values based. That means joiners will be given choices as to how much to pay for a year's membership in the Chapter, with students being asked to pay less than full clinical members. The plan is to provide increased communications to our members using both periodic email blasts with announcements of interest as well as occasional invitations to view newsletters that will provide more information about timelines as to planned presentations and workshops. When you go to the Membership Application below to either join or renew, you will see several levels of application: Student, and Member -1 through 3. The Student level is for all who are still involved in programs to attain their professional credential. Member 1-3 levels are really set up that way to allow for values-based choice in the dues. The three levels are not in any way different nor do they involve different privileges or responsibilities. So chose whichever level and dues amount that reflects your beliefs about MAC and what it can offer you. Assuming you chose to remain a member next year (the dues are for a one year period beginning May 1), you can chose a different dues level if you wish. When you chose what level to renew with, please also go to your profile and complete all the options listed. This will allow us to set up a directory that will help members be in contact with one another and, especially for clinicians, allow ease of referrals. One final note: You must be a dues-paid member of ACBS to apply to join MAC.
