Purpose:
• To provide clarification on provision of a Membership Certificate Seal following membership renewal, and to clarify limits on replacement seals, due in part to the potential of fraudulent use of the seal.
Policy
1. A Membership Certificate Seal containing the name of the Association and the year for which the seal is valid shall be mailed to the last known mailing address of a member not later than February 28 following the membership renewal date to all members who have completed the membership renewal process and remain in good standing with the Association.
2. Replacement seals, in the case where the renewal package is not received by the member, may be requested free of charge only until June 30 of the year of issuance. Any requests for replacement seals made after June 30 of the year of issuance will require payment of a “Seal Replacement Fee” as prescribed in the CMMOTA Fee Schedule.
3. Members may only request replacement seals for years in which they were members in good standing.
4. No replacement seals will be issued for years prior to 2019.
5. Members are to affix the seal received only to the year for which the seal is provided.
