MTWA Featured Photographer Lisa Meyers McClintick Click on image to enlarge   There are two types of membership in MTWA: Active and Associate. Active members are salaried or freelance writers, editors or contributors actively engaged in producing travel-related content for newspapers, magazines, the web or specialty publications. Associate members are public relations professionals working in the field of travel and tourism. Prospective members must be sponsored by current MTWA members, and membership is limited to those living or working in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Applications are accepted twice a year, on Jan. 15 and July 15. In an effort to maintain a good ratio between Active and Associate members, moratoriums on Active or Associate membership are occasionally in place. Here are MTWA’s official membership requirements, along with an application form. For more information, please contact Glenda Hinz via e-mail or at 402/438-2253.
