Membership and Marketing

Reminder: Why must Chapter members be a CAMFT member first?

There is an agreement between CAMFT and the Chapters:
- “CHAPTERS shall abide by and promote the purposes and objectives of CAMFT as set forth in the most current version of CAMFT’s Bylaws. CHAPTERS shall also adopt and abide by its own bylaws, which shall not conflict with CAMFT’s Bylaws. Clinical, Pre-Licensed, and Affiliate CAMFT members in good standing, as defined by the CAMFT Bylaws, shall be eligible for membership in CHAPTERS. “
The membership requirement is also listed in each Chapter’s Bylaws (governing documents)
Voting members have the right to make decisions for Chapters, therefore , it is imperative that Chapter members are CAMFT members in good standing, so that the decisions they make on the Chapter level, align with CAMFT’s mission, vision, and activities.
