2. Job Posting on 3CMA's Website

To have a job posted on-line, 3CMA asks that the job posting be kept to a maximum length of one page and sent to 3CMA via e-mail (info@3cma.org) as a Word Document attachment. The job will remain on-line until the closing date or until the position is filled. The fee to have a job posted is as follows:

3CMA Members: $99
Non-Members: $149

Once the posting is received by 3CMA it will be placed on-line and included in the next Communications Update or Wire. 3CMA will e-mail a copy of the posting along with an invoice as soon as the job is placed on-line (normally within 24 business hours).

3. Trouble Logging In?

A jurisdiction/agency may use the member fee structure for the number of members it has in its membership regardless of whether the attendees are the actual members.  For example, an Individual Membership would allow 1 person to attend from that jurisdiction at the member rate, and an Associate Membership would allow up to 3 attendees at the member rate.  Additional attendees may register at the non-member rate.
