Every other tier gets you into the room. Professional membership gets you a vote in what happens in it. It's granted automatically the moment you hold CMAA, CMA, CMAO, or CMGB, because MAI's position is straightforward: if you've been certified to practice or govern this discipline, you've earned standing in deciding where it goes next — not just permission to keep up with it.
