MAC offers three levels of participation from which to choose:

MEMBER GROUP -501c3 animal welfare organizations can join MAC as a Member Group. Member Groups enjoy all the benefits available to MAC members, plus voting rights in MAC meetings. You'll have input on Board Member elections and the opportunity to voice your opinions in regard to MAC issues. Member Groups dues are only $50.00/year. To join MAC as a Member Group, please fill out the Member Group Application and our Member Groups Coordinator will contact you.

INDIVIDUAL MEMBER -individuals working in animal welfare - whether affiliated with a MAC Member Group, a non-member group, or independently active in humane issues - may join MAC as non-voting members. Individual members enjoy many MAC benefits but have no voting rights and pay no annual dues. Independent members are eligible to serve on the MAC Board and on MAC committees. To join MAC as an Individual Member, please fill out the Individual Member Application and our Member Coordinator will contact you.

INTERESTED PARTIES -individuals involved in animal welfare and humane issues who simply want to stay informed are welcome to subscribe to our MAC e-mail list.
