AACM Membership – Non-Member Individual

After the application process is completed and has been paid, Non-Member Individuals may participate in the AACM Education Program to obtain and maintain CAAM/CAASP certification. Membership also allows Non-Member Individuals to attend/participate in all AACM events. Classes or any paying event will be invoiced and must be paid in full prior to participation. Non-Member Individuals will be included on the website and in the AACM directory. This membership does not include voting rights or the opportunity to hold an AACM Board of Directors position.

The use of the CAAM logo is for the individuals’ use only and not to be used by the Management company that employs the individual. Companies may acknowledge that they do have a CAAM certified member employed but the rights of the individual do not transfer to the Management Company.
