About the New Web site:

If you are a new member, welcome.  Current MACDL members:  use the log-in feature on the left to sign in and set your password. .

First off, check your current member profile.  You may see a notice about activating or approving your membership -- that means that your membership dues are outstanding. 

If the information in your profile is incorrect or you simply wish to change it, once your membership is activated you can make the change yourself - no need to submit change of address requests etc.

You may note that you have a "member since" notation on your record.  That may or may not represent the date on which you joined MACDL - it is the date on which your record was added to this site.  That date will also serve as your membership anniversary date.  Future memberships will run for a full chronological year, instead of the previous 1/1 to 12/31 calendar year.  You will be notified automatically when it is time for you to renew your membership.

Soon you will be able to pay membership dues via credit card and PayPal.  You will also be able to sign up and pay in advance for attendance at all MACDL meetings and CLE programs.

Doubtless there will be glitches with the new system. If you have questions or problems with the site, please e-mail  us.  We'll get back to as soon as possible.
