The MACMA acknowledges long-standing publishing community members through its Member Emeritus program.

These are individuals whose dedication and contribution(s) knew no bounds. They gave of themselves tirelessly – to their employer, to their clients, to their colleagues, and to the Industry as a whole. In so doing, they advanced the standards and practices within the Industry, and the careers of those with whom the collaborated and for whom they mentored. Through all that they gave, they forged lasting professional relationships and many personal friendships within the community in general, and more specifically, among our Members. For these reasons, we are honored to have them continue their involvement with the MACMA, even in partial or full retirement.

The benefits of Member Emeritus status are:

  • Lifetime membership at no charge
  • A Discounted attendance rate of $55 to all functions
  • Official induction in April for new members
  • Certificate of recognition/membership
