I am a member of MTNA and have recently moved to Spokane. Can I transfer my membership to SMTA?
If you have already paid dues for your previous city and/or state and the national office has already dispersed the money, those funds cannot be transferred to a different locale. You will need to pay the additional dues for the new state and/or local chapter. This can be done by signing into your account on the MTNA website and click the Add Additional State and Local button located on the left-hand side of your profile page. Or you can do this over the phone by calling the national office at (513) 421-1420 or (888) 512-5278.
