The membership that the IMAA sold at events was for a regular membership as I remember. I don't recall either the AMA or IMAA offering ''short'' memberships, just their normal memberships. There was/is? an AMA provision for event memberships for foreign nationals attending an event.
I do distinctly recall paying a small fee for a “pass” at IMAA events... some nominal fee of $5 or $10...
I never joined IMAA because the IMAA just seemed to be yet another extension of AMA...nothing really set them apart in my mind. Just a group of people trying to find some relevance or validation that just turned into more accolades for themselves... Just another "stripe on the sleeve”... But the devout AMA types seem to love that...LOL You’ll find abundant proof of that contention in the sign lines and posts on these forums...
