Volunteer/Serve

Volunteer for a UMCA Committee

We encourage you to get involved by volunteering on any of the UMCA committees. Not only will you experience personal growth by volunteering, you will also receive certification points towards your CMC/MMC designation, and more importantly your insight is invaluable to our association. 

Committee sign-ups take place each year at the annual conference for the following committees:
