New Member Perks

 
Part of your ORMTA membership includes access to the Venngo MemberPerks program, however this program will be ending August 31st. Don't fret though! Beginning September 1st, members will have access to Perkopolis! Perkopolis is used by over 2,000 organizations across Canada and offers discounts on dining, travel, attractions and more. The best part about this switch is that there is no extra cost to members or ORMTA for using this program.
 
Log in and visit our Member Perks page on September 1st, to see how to set up and log in to your Perkopolis account.

Two Reminders

 
A reminder that you can still log in to renew your ORMTA membership if you missed the July 1st deadline (a small late fee will now apply). If you need to make any changes to your membership contact secretaryregistrar@ormta.org and if you need assistance with renewing, email treasurer@ormta.org or techsupport@ormta.org
 
The new email address for our Notes Magazine editor is notes@ormta.org. Also, in some of our latest issues, we included a feature called "ORMTA Remembers" to pay tribute to ORMTA members who have recently passed. Click here for submission deadlines and information on what is required for this (and other) features.
