    Membership Dues News


    At CGP, we are always thinking about the future and how we can best enrich members’ work and careers through education, resources and advocacy. In moving forward after these difficult recent years, we’re seeking a refreshed understanding of what our members and councils find useful and relevant. The survey mentioned above is only one piece of a substantial forthcoming research effort. In partnership with YOU, the CGP national board and staff will develop an updated long-range plan on how to best serve our membership in the years ahead.

    As we embark on this effort alongside our existing programs and technologies, including the return of an in-person CGP Conference, we must ensure continued resources to sustain our work. Effective January 1, 2023, annual individual membership dues will increase to $195. 

    We don’t take this change lightly, and know you don’t, either! Any member who renews by December 31 of this year, regardless of membership expiration date, may renew at the current rate of $180. Don’t hesitate to contact Jessica or Carey with questions or for help in updating your membership. Thank you for being part of the CGP community!
