The CCMA is pleased to provide its members with a paid distribution service throughout the balloting process for the 2015 CCMA Awards Program. This electronic service may be used for the solicitation of votes by members of the CCMA to the membership of the CCMA. For example, a nominee or their representative could have a request for voting consideration sent to all eligible voting members of the CCMA.

How It Works

• CCMA Members interested in reserving a spot for the 2015 CCMA Awards Program paid distribution service should email paiddistribution@ccma.org with their top three choices for distribution dates
• A “first come, first served” system is in place for reserving dates for paid distribution, based on when emails are received at the email address paiddistribution@ccma.org
• Once a CCMA Member has emailed the CCMA office with their desired distribution dates, they will be contacted by the CCMA office to confirm a date (or discuss other date options)
• In order to reserve a paid distribution calendar spot, the CCMA Member making the request must not have any outstanding balances with the CCMA

Cancellation Policy

Should a CCMA member wish to cancel the paid distribution notice they reserved a calendar date for, they must do so at minimum three business days in advance of their scheduled distribution date. Failure to do so will result in being charged full price for the distribution notice.
