Benefits of Membership

Working Groups & Roundtables

Our popular topic-specific roundtables take place throughout the year and are well-attended. These popular, actionable working groups are another great way to network, learn, and look for solutions together.

One of our key benefits for members is the strong community we have built through excellent forums for networking, collaboration, and idea sharing we provide each year to all of our members and the greater industry.

Always popular and relevant! In addition to a regular schedule of Networking & Speaker events, we occasionally provide forums for presentations and stakeholder information engagements by stewardship programs, the government, and industry leaders.

Discounted registration fees at our workshops and networking events hosted throughout the year as well as member-rates to our Annual Conference. We will also hold exclusive free events for members.

New member fees in 2024…

CWMA tries to ensure fair pricing that allows every organization to take part in our community and support the important work of the organization. However, if our rates are not affordable but you still want to participate as a member, please be in touch to discuss your needs, we want to ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to be part of this great organization.

Annual Membership

Membership is valid from January to December annually.
New Members pay a pro-rated fee in year one.
Renewals go out in January of each year. Members who are not paid by March 15, will be removed from the the Member list.
Membership fees apply organization-wide (i.e. all employees/staff are members) so the more team members you include, the better the value!
Our organizational membership model allows as many people in an organization to be members under that membership ensuring we reach every level and area of an organization. It adds a very unique breadth and depth of experiences and knowledge to all of our forums.
Historically, Regional District fees were set to help supplement lower prices for the smaller local governments and non-profits in their districts to able to participate.
