 Applying for CAC Membership
The CAC Bylaws contains a description of the different types of entry-level membership and how to qualify for each. You can and should reference the Bylaws before applying. But here is a summary of the different membership types to aid in making the correct choice of application for your situation:
Provisional Membership

A Provisional Member may be proposed for a class of Full Member after one year. After three years of membership, a Provisional Member not elected a Full Member will become a Corresponding Member.
Corresponding Membership

They shall be subject to all dues and assessments levied against a Full Member or Provisional Member.
