Your Membership Gives You a Voice
SCMA members have the opportunity to participate in the annual election of the Board of Trustees, which governs and directs the Association.
Board election ballots are distributed digitally by email in late August/early September each year. To ensure you receive your ballot—as well as The Ceili, event announcements, and other important member communications—please provide your best and most current email address when joining or renewing your membership.
