Affiliate Members

Affiliate membership is for individuals who wish to be connected to the industry and enjoy some of the benefits of membership early in their career. These individuals may be considering becoming practitioners in the future, or have other personal or professional reasons to wish to be connected and informed about the CAA and the avalanche industry in general. Affiliate members do not need to log continuing professional development (CPD). For more information contact Membership Services to discuss your objectives, before applying.

Affiliate members have completed the Avalanche Operations Level 1 (or equivalent) and are engaged in avalanche-related activities on a regular or part time basis. 

Affiliate members are expected to follow the CAA Code of Ethics.

Membership fee

Affiliate member dues are $147.63 + tax, billed annually in December. Dues payments cover December 1-November 30.
