Logging In

Do I need to log in?
You only need to log in for three things:
  • To update your contact information
  • To renew your membership
  • To register for a conference at the member rate

All other resources are currently available without logging in.

How do I log in?
  • On the left side of the screen there is a box that says "Optional Log In."
  • Type in your email address and password (see below for password help).
  • Then click the login button.
  • If the system does not recognize your email address, see below ("do I already have an account?").
Do I already have an account?
  • We have created accounts for MCDA members using the email addresses you gave us in your membership application. You should have received a personalized email from us at some point welcoming you to the new site, inviting you to renew your membership or inviting you to register for a conference.
  • If you are a member but did not receive an email, you may not be in our system, or we might have a different email address for you. Contact Katie Fritz at fritz@cedam.info to get it fixed. 
  • If you are not a member, you will need to join MCDA to create a member account.
What is my password?
  • If you have not logged in before, you will need to create a password. Unfortunately, there is not a "create password" link. Instead, click "forgot password" and enter your email address when prompted. You will receive a link by email. Click the link and create a new password. 
  • If you cannot remember your password, it's easy to reset. Click "forgot password" and enter your email address when prompted. You will receive a link by email. Click the link and create a new password.

Event Registration


Do I need an account to register for an event?
  • If you are a MCDA member, you must log in to receive your member registration rates. See instructions above. If you do not log in, you will have to pay non-member rates.
  • If you are not a MCDA member, you can register without logging in.
How do I pay for my events?
  • Pay with credit card by selecting the online payment option at the end of your event registration. You will be taken to a PayPal page. If the page is prompting you to sign into PayPal, scroll down to find the "pay with credit card" option. You can also pay outstanding invoices with credit card at any time by logging in, selecting View Profile (lower left corner) and selecting Invoices and Payments.
  • Pay with check or money order by selecting the manual payment option at the end of your registration. You will receive an invoice in your email with payment instructions. 
  • If you have concerns or questions about your payment, give Katie Fritz a call: 517.485.3588.

Renewing Membership

When is my renewal due?
  • You may renew your membership at any time.
  • However, you will not be able to receive member rates for the March 2012 conference until you renew.

How do I renew my membership?
  1. Go to the Member Application.
  2. Select your membership level.
  3. Enter your work email address. You may be prompted to log in; if so, use "forgot password" to set your password, then log in and select "renew."
  4. Input/update your information and confirm. If someone else from your organization has renewed already, include their name in a comment and take $10 off your payment. The administrator will update your invoice.
  5. Pay online or send us a check.

How do I pay for my membership?
  • Once you confirm your registration, you will be taken to your member profile and see all outstanding invoices. You will also receive an email invoice.
  • You can pay by credit card or PayPal at any time through your member profile or send us a check:

MCDA

c/o CEDAM

1000 S. Washington Ave.

Lansing, MI 48910

  • Regardless of how you pay, you will receive a receipt by email for your records.
  • If you need us to complete a W-9, you may send it to Katie Fritz at fritz@cedam.info, 517.485.3588 (fax) or the mailing address above.

Do I have to renew online?
  • Because most of our member benefits and event registrations are web-based, we strongly encourage you to renew your membership online.
  • However, if this is a hardship, you may download and complete our 2012 membership application [pdf] and mail it, with a check, to the address above.
