This fee covers a membership card, a subscription to The Pitch Pipe, mailings from international, member rates for international convention registration and educational events, and sales items including music. If a CAL member finds that she desires to join a chorus, she is eligible to transfer her membership without paying an additional per capita fee in the same fiscal year. Upon transfer, CAL membership automatically terminates. A ssociate Membership Associate membership was created primarily for members with physical disabilities or time restraints who find it difficult to meet rehearsal requirements and the associated rigors of performing or competing. Except for being prohibited from competing or performing in a Sweet Adelines Chorus, an associate member holds all other privileges of active membership.
Associate members pay the full international per capita fee and regional assessments.
She may belong to, perform with, and compete in quartets. Associate members may reapply for regular chapter membership at any time, following the membership and audition procedures established by the chapter. Youth members receive full membership privileges, but are required to pay only one-half of the regular international per capita fee. Choruses are encouraged, but not required, to provide discount rates for youth membership chapter dues. Dual membership permits these members to participate in Sweet Adelines activities year round by maintaining continuous membership in more than one chapter.
