Membership Application Form

Every applicant for Full Membership, Associate Membership, or Affiliate Membership is responsible for obtaining required endorsement(s) of APALA Members or Full Members of other CSLA jurisdictions. The applicant is also responsible for making the Endorser aware of the professional capabilities of the applicant. CSLA Members providing endorsements are responsible for thoroughly reviewing the experience and competence of the applicant. The Bylaws require that the Member providing endorsement shall have known the applicant for at least one year in a professional context. Two endorsements are required for Full Member applications (see Application Form) with a combined three years’ minimum knowledge of the applicant in a professional context and one endorsement is required for Associate Member applications (see Application Form) with a one-year minimum knowledge of the applicant in a professional context. High standards of professionalism are maintained through direct intervention of Members in the membership application process. The Membership Committee of APALA will use the information provided by the endorsers in considering the merits of each applicant. The Committee reserves the right to interview the applicant and the endorser(s) during the course of the application process. All information provided by the endorser(s) will be held in the strictest confidence. Endorsement form(s) must be sent directly to the Secretary of the Association when completed by the endorser(s).
