Benefits of Membership

WCPCA members receive a monthly electronic newsletter that lists activities and includes articles of general interest. There is also a mid-month email update on time sensitive matters.

WCPCA members are listed in an annual directory which is distributed only to members and only as a .pdf file. We encourage new and renewing members to complete a short bio to include in the membership directory, making it an effective networking tool. 

Renewals

Typically memberships renew on January 1 of each year. Members will receive an email to remind them to renew several weeks before their due date. Prompt renewals are greatly appreciated.
