Membership

Upcoming events

Citizen Advocacy Center is not affiliated with the Computer Access Center (now known as EmpowerTech), of Los Angeles, California.

We are pleased to announce that we are now offering memberships to state health professional licensing boards and other oversight agencies. We invite your agency to become a CAC member, and request that you put this invitation on your board agenda at the earliest possible date.

CAC is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt service organization dedicated to supporting public members serving on healthcare regulatory and oversight boards.  Many of you are familiar with our organization and the services we provide. Over the years, it has become apparent that our programs, publications, meetings and services are of as much value to the boards themselves as they are to the public members. Therefore, the CAC board has decided to offer memberships to health regulatory and oversight boards in order to allow the boards to take full advantage of our offerings.

We provide the following services to boards that become members:

  1. A free electronic subscription to our highly regarded quarterly newsletter, CAC News & Views;
  2. A 10% discount for all of your board members and all of your staff who register for CAC meetings, including our fall annual meeting;
  3. Free electronic copies of all available CAC publications;
  4. A free review of your board’s website in terms of its consumer-friendliness, with suggestions for improvements;
  5. Discounted rates for CAC’s on-site training of your board on how to most effectively utilize your public members, and on how to connect with citizen and community groups to obtain their input into your board rule-making and other activities;
  6. Assistance in identifying qualified individuals for service as public members.

We have set the annual membership fees as follows:

Individual Regulatory Board $275.00 
 “Umbrella” Governmental Agency plus regulatory boards $275.00 for the umbrella agency, plus $225.00 for each participating board
 Non-Governmental organization   $375.00
 Association of regulatory agencies or organizations $450.00

If your board or agency is ready to become a member of CAC, please complete this application and return it to us by mail, fax, or as an email attachment.
