e.     Marketplace:  These pages are devoted to paid advertising of events, announcements, and professional service in any amount of detail the advertiser wishes.

f.      Bulletin Board:  This is a service for non-AzAMFT members or professional organizations to announce events at no cost.  Like the calendar, the copy must be limited to the title of the event, name(s) of key presenters, date, time, locations, fees, and a contact phone number for further information.  Like the calendar, no elaboration as to presenter details will be printed.  Contributors wishing to elaborate should consider paid advertising.
