CALDA offers 5 different levels of membership: Voting, Provisional, Sustaining and Student.
All membership applications are subject to review before approval.
All memberships are renewed on an annual basis, from the date of registration.
New for 2023: All Voting members must complete CALDA's Professional Standards for LDAs course prior to their 2024 renewal date. This is a self-paced online course with 7 video lessons, each followed by a short quiz. Access to the course is included with your membership fee, and you will earn 10 hours of MCLE credit. Completion qualifies you to take the optional certification exam.
