The Minnesota Coaches Association (MCA) is committed to your success. The MCA is approaching ten years of active growth and learning in the coaching community.  Coaching has gone through its early adaptors stage and it is now time to become a thriving, sustainable industry. We will do everything in our power to make that happen. We will be working to increase people's awareness of coaching. We have hired a Virtual Assistant service to give us a permanent address and a place to answer calls when potential customers call for more information on coaching. We believe we have the best website of any coaching organization and we have an excellent Webmaster. We have an informative monthly newsletter, The Catalyst, to keep you up to date on coaching information. We have great monthly programs and extremely valuable Virtual calls each month. All we need to continue our legacy of being the leading local organization to support coaches is your support.

   This membership is designed for those people living outside the Twin City Metro Area (7 county metro area).  This membership grants access to all the virtual classrooms and all the member benefits of a Professional Membership with the exception of in-person meetings. 
4. Student Member of the Minnesota Coaches Association is new in 2006. $55/year
   This member type was created for coaches who are in their first year of coach training.  Due to financial constraints in the first year of coaching we are offing all the member benefits of a full professional member at a discount to these students.  This is based on the honor system. If you are completed with coach training or are beyond your first year as a coach, please register as a Professional Member or Sustaining Member or Greater Community should you qualify.

  All membership registrations and renewals are handled on-line through our secure website.  The process is simple, easy, instantaneous and secure.   Pay by Visa, Mastercard or Amex - credit or debit card.    

Although there is an option to mail a check to our office along with an invoice we do not encourage this approach.  Due to the extra handling and paperwork involved in working with checks we charge a $10 handling fee if you use a check.   For example if you sign up as a Professional Member at $95 and you send in a check, you will need to issue a check for $105.
