  • Barrier-free Membership Policy
    • In light of COVID-19, we recognize that membership fees may be restrictive for some at this time.  Please note that you can take advantage of our barrier-free membership policy for all membership types.  We invite new or renewing members seeking an individual or organizational membership, who would benefit from a reduced rate, to do so.

If you are seeking an Organizational Membership, choose the membership price option that is most appropriate or feasible for you. If the options are restrictive, please join as an individual member.

If you are seeking an Individual Membership, choose the membership price option that is most appropriate or feasible for you.  If the student/low income option is restrictive please fill out this form and indicate your chosen amount.

Categories

CCEDNet members are either individuals or organizations.  The fee for regular membership varies based on ability to pay (see table below).

The ‘Sustaining Member’ fee level is for members who can afford to contribute more to CCEDNet’s mission. In addition to the member benefits listed above, Sustaining members will be acknowledged in annual reports, on the CCEDNet website and in newsletters, and can request a receipt for income tax purposes for the amount paid above the regular membership fee. Suggested Sustaining Member rates are flexible – you can contribute any amount more than the regular membership fee.
