Important Notes About MEDA Membership

  • Memberships operate on a 12-month cycle, i.e. If you join in March, your membership is due every March. We invoice via mail approximately six weeks before it is due and have various payment options.
  • MEDA membership is individual and not organizational. Benefits apply only to individuals who have applied for membership.
  • MEDA memberships are owned by the entity or person that pays for them. If a member leaves their position, the entity that pays for it can transfer it to another staff person. The member who left is welcome to apply for a new membership at their new company.
