The Membership Renewal Process

For most school districts, the district clerk is the “key contact” for receiving a membership renewal email and will need to complete the membership renewal process on behalf of the MASS, MASSP, MAEMSP, META, and MCASE members in the district.  Members not associated with a school district must complete their own membership renewal form.  Membership dues need to be paid by check and not credit card.
