MEMBERSHIP IN THE CSCSC
Three Membership Classes
The CSCSC has three classes of members:
- Associate members
- Full members
- Pillar associations
Through this structure, both individuals and organizations can be involved in the Council's activities.
Associate members are provided with access to all Council products and services, but have no voting rights in the Council. Individuals and organizations that are new to the Council join as associate members. At this level, they may participate in working groups or on committees, but are not eligible for membership on the Board of Directors. Any person or group that aspires to acquire voting rights or Board eligibility must first complete a year of associate membership, during which commitment to a Council activity or activities should be demonstrated. After a year at this level, an associate member may apply to become a full member.
Full members may vote at members meetings and are eligible to serve on the Council's Board of Directors.
Pillar associations have a special status with the Council. These are the five associations – APICS - The Association for Operations Management, CITT, the Canadian International Freight Forwarders Association, the Purchasing Management Association of Canada, and Supply Chain & Logistics Association Canada – that have been formative in the Council's development, committed to the idea of a supply chain sector council before the CSCSC existed. Each pillar association has a representative on the Board of Directors and full voting privileges.
Membership in the Council at any level is free of charge.
