Memberships:
Active Members
Active membership ($135) is open to all court staff whose duties encompass essential functions of a public information officer as a part of their job, whether they serve as a PIO, communications officer, administrator, or in another capacity with PIO responsibilities. Active members may vote on all CCPIO issues, attend annual conferences, access the CCPIO members-only website, subscribe to the CCPIO listserv, and hold CCPIO elective office.
NACM Dual Membership Discount
Members of the National Association for Court Management who also wish to join CCPIO can receive a discount on active membership ($115). Current NACM members who wish to take advantage of this deal should attach a copy of their NACM receipt to their CCPIO membership application. (CCPIO members also get a discount with NACM!)
Sponsorships
Subject to Board approval, sponsorships (any amount) are open to any unit of government, corporation, association, organization, or individual that supports CCPIO’s mission and wishes to contribute financially to its work. Sponsors do not hold membership privileges but will be recognized on the CCPIO website, on the CCPIO listserv, and in annual CCPIO conference materials. Sponsors may attend the annual conferences.
Retired Members
Retired members ($50) can stay active with CCPIO after winding down their professional careers. As retired members, they may not vote on CCPIO issues, hold CCPIO elective office, or access certain other benefits unless a waiver has been requested and granted by the Board of Directors. Retired memberships are subject to periodic review by the Board to ensure accurate membership classification and to avoid professional conflicts of interest.
Life Membership
Life memberships (no fee) may be awarded by majority vote of the Board to those who have supported the mission of court public information officers in an exemplary manner or to a founding member who has made substantial contributions to the organization and its mission.
