New Professional Membership:
NCMA has a New Professional membership category was created in 2010 for members under the age of 33. Young professionals have the desire to interact with their association, but don't always have the support of their organization. Now, with lower dues, it's easier for a young professional to join on their own or make the case for NCMA membership to their boss.
