CCOC Membership

2025 Membership applications now closed!

Membership Process

CCOC has implemented new bylaws that are changing the way we do membership. We now require you to apply, between December 1st and January 15, to be granted membership. There is only one annual intake period for members. If you do not meet the January application deadline, you will not be eligible for membership until the following year. Part of this application also includes agreeing to our new Membership Criteria that you can read below. Once your membership is confirmed,  you will only need to renew your membership at the end of every year. You will hear from us once your application is approved.
