Get into the Forums. First line of communication.

We hear a good deal about how people are not aware of changes and deadlines in MIFA. The easiest and surest way to avoid being left out of the information loop is take some personal initiative and get signed up for the MIFA Forums. That is where all pertinent information is posted first and it stays there so it can be accessed again later if you need to.
