Our flexible membership fees are designed to be affordable for organizations and businesses of all sizes. We've updated our membership categories and fees to make them more transparent.
CHRA membership is valid for the calendar year in which it was purchased or renewed. Renewal notices go out in November for the following year's membership.
Our fees are currently pro-rated for new members based on the time of year.
