IMPORTANT – READ FIRST BEFORE RENEWING OR INITIATING MEMBERSHIP
CalChiefs has moved to a new membership and event management software solution beginning with this 20/21 Fiscal Year membership drive. The new software solution will allow for a more automated tracking system for both membership and event registrations. It will also allow for the flexibility for you to update changes in your membership information over the course of the fiscal year.
You will no longer log into the old account you had previously set up (if you had one). You will also no longer fill out the old membership invoice form. The form will be fully automated in the new software.
Below is the membership renewal/initiation page, you will choose the type of membership your organization qualifies for and begin to answer a series of questions about your organization and member(s) for our membership records. Previous members will recognize these questions are gather the same types of information we required in the old membership form.
Since this is so new and there are quite a few steps involved, we’ve put together a step-by-step set of instructions for each membership type, except Life Members. After carefully considering which type of membership you qualify for, please click the link below to the membership instructions for the type of membership you wish to apply for. For Life Members, contact CalChiefs staff and we will ensure you are assisted in applying for or renewing that special membership.
