We receive and store information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of certain member services. We use the information that you provide to us to respond to your requests, enroll you in the CIMA program, continuing education programs, and conferences, fulfill publication requests, maintain your membership and continuing education credits, and other purposes as established by the IMCA Bylaws and the policies and practices of the IMCA Board of Directors.
