Member Services

The Member Services portfolio encompasses:

  • Membership: Applications for Active Membership, Associate Membership and Student Membership are reviewed by the Membership Committee on a regular basis and subsequently, recommendations are submitted to the CAPL Board of Directors for approval. Honorary, Senior and Life Memberships are proactively reviewed annually, and when applicable approved by the Board of Directors.
  • Insurance: Life Insurance, Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance and Best Doctors Group Service Card Program benefits are provided to all Active and Life members. These policies are reviewed on a yearly basis to ensure competitive premiums and that current membership's needs are being met.
  • Roster: Although for the most part it is up to individual members to update their contact information on the online roster, regular updates are done behind the scenes to the electronic roster. These regular updates include printable versions of the corporate and individual listings in the roster for those who wish to print their own paper copies.
  • Member Information and Awareness: Information that applies to the membership is disseminated through both the Negotiator and the CAPL Website.
  • Merit Awards: Annually, recognition is given to members and organizations that have made exceptional contributions to the Association. Long time members who have been a member for 25 or more years are also given special recognition.
  • Visitation and Bereavement: The CAPL acknowledges the deaths of current or past members by sending a card of condolence to the immediate family. Members who are suffering from long-term illness are sent a card of support.
