Subscription to CADM's Member-Only Publications
CADM members can access a variety of educational resources, including articles on current industry strategies, legislative issues, and member-news updates. All members receive our hard-copy newsletter, adMarks, published by CADM 10 times annually. Members also receive a bi-weekly e-newsletter, CADM Online.

Discounted Registration Rates For CADM's Events
CADM offers networking and educational opportunities for all levels of direct marketers on a wide range of topics. And as a CADM member, you can attend these events at the member rate, which on average is 20% less than the non-member rate! In addition, there are exclusive events held throughout the year that are only promoted to CADM's membership.

Free Enrollment in TWO Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) offer CADM members the chance to explore unique concerns and innovations and take advantage of learning opportunities focused on a particular specialty. Each SIG plans meetings, workshops, seminars and luncheons on topics of interest to members. Check out the SIGs area for more information about each of CADM's Special Interest Groups.

Volunteer Opportunities
CADM depends on the active participation of members to plan programs, develop educational curricula, and to speak at various CADM functions. We offer our members numerous opportunities for volunteer participation. Choose an upcoming event or SIG committee where you can share your expertise, then work together with key players in the Chicago direct marketing community to help shape both the future and content of CADM.
