Please note: payments are being manually entered into the system and it's taking 24 hours to get them processed.

Two things have to be accomplished before you can submit: 1) you have to review/complete/update your profile and 2) you have to complete your badge details (name and affiliation).
Everyone does this:
Log-in to myMESA and create/update your profile. Profile must be complete before submitting. After completing/confirming each category, hit the "category complete, next category" button on the bottom right.
Under "Annual Meeting" click "badge details". Fill in your badge name and institution and hit "submit"

You are welcome to pay by check or phone in your credit card information if you prefer. For checks, please make them payable to MESA and for the right amount, and mail to the MESA Secretariat (address under "contact"). Include with the check a note with your name and what you are paying for (ex.: John Smith, membership $110, registration $80). Phone credit card details to the Secretariat at 520-621-5850. Just tell whomever answers the phone that you want to pay your dues and fees by credit card. Please make sure you've completed/updated your member profile through myMESA!
