The MDA recognizes that many members will miss the printed <em>Journal<\/em> in their mailbox each month. At the same time, a fully digital <em>Journal<\/em> will provide you with several advantages not found in print, including late-breaking news and direct links to the MDA website, updated classified ads and CE course listings, and more.<\/p>\n<p>In the short video at right, MDA CEO\/Executive Director John Tramontana will fill you in on the background behind this change \u2014 and how the MDA\u2019s commitment to providing timely, reliable information to members will remain as strong as ever.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Tk4B6saydIQ&#8221;
