Create an Account

MAFAA.org accounts are available for all current MAFAA members. Accounts can be created in the following ways:

Migrated from previous MAFAA.org website
Created by the member during the membership application

Member Before Oct. 24th, 2017

If your first membership began before October 24th, 2017, then you have a migrated account. This includes individuals whose membership has lapsed (expired membership for up to 1 year) or suspended (expired membership for greater than 1 year).

To access a migrated account, see instructions on the right.

Member After Oct. 24th 2017

New members after Oct. 24th, 2017 create an account during the first steps of the member application process. Account logins are done using your email address provided at the time of sign-up and accounts are available with limited access even prior to membership payment.

If you are unable to access your account and your initial membership occurred after Oct. 24th, 2017, then you can reset your password using the instructions below.

Access Migrated Account

All members with initial membership before Oct. 24th, 2017 have had their account migrated from the prior member database. Account passwords have been reset to keep your data secure.

Accessing your migrated account requires the following steps:

At the top-right of this page, click Login.
From the pop-up window, click Forgot Password on the right.
Enter your email address used for your previous mafaa.org account.
Enter the code that appears on the screen
Click Submit
You will receive an email with a link to reset your password on the new site.

NOTES:
If you do not know your password, you can search your name in the directory.
If you do not see your name in the directory, request an account update with the membership coordinator.

Not Seeing Member-Only Content?

Some content will only be available to members. This information appears for current members with an active mafaa.org account. After logging in, you will see a new Members menu at the top of the page. This content contains much of the member-only content.

You will also see the new Blogs section under News. This is new content created for the new website and will provide meaningful updates on what you may have missed in state and federal updates and announcements, along with happenings within the internals of MAFAA itself.
