You can belong to CROA either as an individual general or practitioner member or through your organization's membership, described below.  Your membership type dictates what benefits you are eligible to receive as shown.  The leadership of the CROA, including the governing board, will be drawn from the practicing membership and vetted by a nominating committee.

Individual Member (Dues Vary):

  • General Member ($100 Annual Dues):  Individuals who aspire to improve corporate responsibility, are interested in learning more about best practices and the state of the practice, and want to build a professional network in this area, but do not hold responsibility for this function in an organization. Can include MBA candidates, non-profit professionals in related fields, or those working within different areas of a company that are interested in moving into CR. 
  • Practicing Member ($500 Annual Dues):  Individuals that hold positions in organizations where corporate responsibility is at least a part of their role, who are looking to improve their effectiveness as CR practitioners.  Can include individuals from companies, non-profits, or academic institutions with a focus in this area.
