Once again this year, the NMCA WEBSITE HAS WON THE ACA AWARD FOR BEST WEBSITE FOR ASSOCIATIONS WITH LESS THAN 500 MEMBERS! We are extremely proud of our site and all the work that has gone into creating it and keeping it up-to-date with pertinent and important information for the profession within the State of New Mexico. Mary Ann Sheppard, our Web Wizard, deserves a great deal of thanks for her on-going creativity and commitment to making our site something special!! Thank you, ACA and thank you, Mary Ann!

SHOP ON-LINE THROUGH THE NMCA WEBSITE AND CHIROPRACTIC WINS!!
The NMCA website now has a shopping portal for your convenience in shopping on-line. There are over 1,000 well-known retailers available for your use and each one of them will give the NMCA a percentage of your purchase, as long as you connect to their site through our website at www.nmchiroassoc.com or through the periodic e-mails that are sent out! We have plans to expand this shopping portal to include local and national vendors that work directly with chiropractors and will let you know as soon as that is accomplished!

This is a win/win/win situation and one that can help us acquire non-dues revenue that will assure that your dues payments remain where they are or are lowered ~~ depending on how many of you use this service and how much we can bring to the NMCA. You spend nothing more than you would buying somewhere else; you do nothing different from what you are already doing now when you shop on-line; the retailers are supported and happy; and, the NMCA gains revenue to support Chiropractic in New Mexico! You can only WIN and that is our goal!! So, HAPPY SHOPPING! (Click here to begin shopping).
