MARIN CAMFT MEMBERSHIP POLICIES

• All members of Marin CAMFT must be members of state CAMFT. You will be asked for your CAMFT membership number when you sign up for membership in our chapter.
• We offer free membership to current students and associates! 

• Marin CAMFT memberships renew on January 1 of each year. There is currently a 30-day grace period for renewal, after which there will be a $15 reapplication fee.
  

• Since 2021, in our effort to Go Green and reduce paperwork processing and the delays that causes, we have been only accepting payment for memberships and for events only online, via credit cards processed on our website.

• New paid memberships are set to auto-renew by default. This helps reduce costs for our volunteer-run organization.  Your credit card on file will be automatically charged on January 1st next year unless you specify that you wish to stop the automatic payment, which can be done at any time in your account.

• A note on online privacy: Please note that if you use your Facebook or Google accounts to log in to our site, then you are sharing information with those other companies. Marin CAMFT has no control over what those other companies do with your data or how you are tracked if you choose to use those options.
