2006 membership dues are past due
Thanks for helping keep DCMS and TMA the strongest medical societies in the country. You are joining your colleagues in supporting your profession and uniting through DCMS to represent physicians in our community. Your support is greatly appreciated.

If you are one of the few physicians who hasn’t paid your dues yet, note that the delinquent deadline is March 1 and the drop deadline is April 1. The DCMS Directory goes to press shortly thereafter and will include only members whose dues are current.

You’ll be glad you renewed your membership for 2006. Here’s why: DCMS plays a major role in representing Dallas physicians before county and state governmental bodies, the insurance industry, the media, and the public. DCMS supports your practice every day. Membership in DCMS, TMA, and the AMA is a wise business decision. We want you to get your money’s worth from your membership, so take advantage of its many features and benefits. Visit www.dallas-cms.org often for the latest news that affects your practice.

DCMS Directory update
The 2006–2007 DCMS Directory will be a pictorial issue. Physicians whose photos have not been taken by RCL or who have not submitted a professional photo to DCMS will have a DCMS logo appear for their picture. March 1 is the deadline for submitting a photo. Encourage nonmember colleagues to be included by contacting the membership department at 214-948-3622 to request a membership application!

Recently, you received via email or regular mail, a request for you to review your existing membership profile. If you have a valid email address on file with DCMS, your profile update request was sent via email. Otherwise, a paper copy of your profile was sent via regular mail. Basic office address information needs to be confirmed so your entry in the directory is accurate. Please respond to the profile update request before March 1.
