Click here to access the Dues Reduction Request Form
PCMA will consider requests to reduce the payment of dues to $50.00 for a period of one year: (1) if the member requesting the dues reduction has been a member in good standing of PCMA for more than three years, (2) upon the recommendation of the PCMA Director, Member Relations and (3) if one of the following minimum requirements is met:
1. Extreme financial hardship derived from:
a. Disabling illness
b. Demonstrable lack of income without financial reserves
2. Military reservist called away from their employment to serve in military crisis for an extended period of six months or longer.
Historically, dues waivers have not been approved for the following scenarios:
- Maternity/paternity leave
- Reduced work hours
- Short-term leave of absense
- Reduced income due to personal career choice (i.e. continuing education)
It is the responsibility of the member requesting a dues waiver to do so within 30 days of anniversary date (date membership payment is due) and to provide sufficient written detailed information.
