NOTICE TO CMAs:

Effective September 1, 2008, IMA’s CMA members will be charged a recertification fee instead of an annual IMA membership fee. The new annual CMA fee schedule is: Regular members $225, Student members $69, CMA Young Professional members $160, Associate 2nd year members $160 and Academic members $128. With this fee comes new benefits exclusive to CMAs! CMA Retired members and CMA Emeritus Life members are not subject to the recertification fee. CMA Retired members pay the IMA membership fee of $98 and Emeritus Life members pay $49.

In addition to the usual benefits that come with IMA membership, you will now have access to a discounted annual Professional Development package. For the first year, CMAs can purchase either of the IMA Ethics Series courses for $20 each (a savings of over $90 if both are purchased). CMA's receive a $20 discount on IMA's CPEdge which provides 365 days access to 45 NASBA approved CPE. In addition, CMAs will have free access to a collection of risk management publications.

Most importantly, though, the recertification fee will help IMA promote the CMA program. You will be able to view samples of our promotional campaigns in an online gallery of external advertisements that are being used to promote the benefits of certification.

Thank you for renewing your CMA certification. We hope you will take advantage of these valuable new benefits that come with being a CMA.
