Want to know about our Group Memberships - including the Educational Floating Student Membership? Or want to become a Corporate Sponsor?
This membership entitles an individual to full association membership, with all benefits. It belongs to the individual and is nontransferable and nonrefundable. Please use the online application. (If you wish to sign up three or more people in the same company or organization, you may find that application by clicking here.)
This membership is for individuals who work for corporations, and are the only ones from the company participating in MCA-I activities - and where the company is paying for the membership. This membership is transferrable and can be reassigned to a different employee one time during the annual membership cycle. If a company wants more than one person to participate in MCA-I, we suggest the Corporate Group Membership at a savings of $60 per person.
A current individual member may choose to become a Life Member .The Lifetime member is a "member for life", immune from any possible future dues increases. It belongs to the individual and is non-transferable and non-refundable. The member may choose to pay the commitment in one lump sum payment, or in four equal installments over the course of one year (installment payments require an additional processing fee and requires hand processing.)
To qualify for this category, an individual must be enrolled as media communications student with a current student ID. Requires verification* of current student status to activate membership. This membership belongs to the individual and is non-transferable and non-refundable. The membership is now driven by Student ID, rather than how many courses a student takes.

The Student Member receives all membership benefits, including access to all parts of the website, a listing on Find A Pro™, discounts on professional development seminars and the MCA-I Media Festival, medical benefits (depending on age), discounts, student forums and more.
