Member handbooks are web publications only. To view them, you must use a pdf reader. These files may take a few minutes to download.

The Printable Handbooks are in "booklet" format, which will print two pages per side of paper. For
optimum reading, the booklets should be printed on both sides of the paper with the flip on the short
edge, and folded in the middle. To request a handbook, contact the MPERA front desk.
