Agency Admin users are able to submit bulk membership applications for new members, bulk membership renewals, bulk event registration, and bulk credit card payments related to those categories. Agency Admin accounts are not subject to annual membership dues and are therefore not allowed to attend the annual training conference nor do they have membership voting powers. If you are a REGULAR member whose job duties also include submitting bulk registration and bulk payment for training events and/or membership renewals (i.e., Agency Training Coordinators and/or Administrative Secretaries), you must use a different email address to create your free Agency Admin account. Regular members cannot register for a free Agency Admin account under the same email address associated with their paid membership user account. Please note that CHMIA reserves the right to verify the status of all Agency Admin users at any time to ensure they meet eligibility requirements. Click here to request Agency Admin account.
