Charter memberships are for those members joining as general or participating members who wish to support the Council on an annual basis.
General membership is available to any person in good standing within a profession or career, which advances the purposes of this association pursuant to policies, procedures and criteria as adopted by the Board of Directors. General members shall not have the right to vote. Membership rights shall not be transferable.
Participating members receive the same benefits of the General Membership with the added benefits of being eligible to vote, and have their name listed as a Participating Member in the Council roster, as well as in other promotional materials such as the Council web site. Eligibility for Participating Membership requires a pledge to 1) complete at least one day-long training in collaborative law (training received in the past twelve months would be applicable) by the end of the first year of membership; 2) attend a minimum of four Council meetings by the end of the first year of membership; and 3) within every two years either serve on a committee or board position, or mentor at least four sessions, or facilitate a morning breakfast meeting. Eligibility to be listed as a participating member in promotional materials requires actual completion of the annual requirements of one day-long training and attendance at four meetings.
