Our publications and information services will keep you current with the industry's best practices.

• At the local level you will have full access and invitations to local chapter events.
• Plus, throughout the year you will receive special reports/hot topics of interest, which may also be accessed through the Members Only areas of the RMA Web site.

Membership Dues
RMA membership is cost effective. At only $55.00* per year, it is one of the lowest-cost financial association memberships. (Most local chapters also charge a fee for chapter membership which is not included in this fee.)

Please note: Dues are not transferable or refundable.

Senior Associate
The Senior Associate is our primary contact, and the key to the continuous support of RMA objectives and activities. Where practical, your institution should appoint, as its Senior Associate, the senior risk management officer, the chief executive officer, or individuals having significant management responsibility. The Senior Associate should

1. participate in Headquarters' and local chapter activities;
2. be responsible for disseminating educational materials and notices of RMA activities to the proper people within the institution;
3. oversee the institution's participation in RMA surveys, studies, and competitions, including 's Annual Statement Studies program and its other periodic data gathering and market-research surveys; and
4. cast the institution's vote in RMA matters and be known throughout the institution as its spokesperson in RMA matters.

Regional Senior Associate
The Regional Senior Associate is the primary RMA contact for large member institutions that operate in more than one geographic region of the country. Although the Senior associate is the primary RMA contact for the institution, the Regional Senior Associate is the contact in his or her region and the primary regional representative to RMA's Regional Managers.

The Regional Senior Associate is the key to continuous support of RMA activities and membership at the regional, state, and market-area level. Where practical, the institution should appoint as its Regional Senior Associate the senior credit/risk officer, senior commercial loan officer, or senior manager for a region, state, or market area. The Regional Senior Associate should:

1. be known throughout his or her area as the authority on RMA;
2. advocate RMA membership, chapter participation, and event attendance within his or her area; and
3. participate in local chapter activities as feasible.

Alternate Associate
The Alternate Associate temporarily assumes the responsibilities of the Senior Associate if that position becomes vacant. This person should be of senior stature.
