Joining CCYP is easy! Just follow the steps below:
Join the website by clicking the "create an account" link on the vertical menu bar to the left. Fill out the information and click the "Send Registration" button.
- Credit = If you would rather pay with credit card, once you are logged in, you'll be able to click on the "Pay Your Dues Online" link in the User Menu. You do not have to fill out the paper membership form if you pay online.
- Paper (Check or Cash) = If you're going to write a check or pay cash, click here to open the membership form. Print, fill out the form by hand, and either mail in or drop off at the next meeting with your payment.
Both steps (online registration AND payment) are required to become an official member.
Once your membership is approved, your online status will be upgraded to "member" and the contact info you entered online will be visible to other members. You can log in and update your profile whenever you want! If you have any questions contact Ashley Houseman, Membership Director, at ashley@ccyp.info.
Introducing New Rates!
Is an individual rate or group rate best for your business? Group memberships are designed for companies employing multiple young professionals that could potentially participate in CCYP events. Rates for group memberships start at $100 and are based on the number of "potential participants" working for the company. The company will have one online membership account and one general company listing in the online Members Database. All of the company's potential participants can register online for email updates and receive all the benefits as listed in the membership form and below, except for individual membership access online.
Time to join or renew? The CCYP is fortunate to have a community partnership with the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce, and is now discounting the individual membership rate for new and renewing CCYP members who are Chamber members (Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce only). Proof of membership is required at time of application in order to receive the $45 Chamber rate.
We've also instituted a new spouse rate at $35/year, if other spouse paid single rate at $45 or $50.
There has not been a better time to network socially and professionally. Making friends, increasing business, growing professionally, and bettering your community are just a few things that can happen as a member of CCYP.
