Membership Structure & Guidelines

Alameda County CAN has guidelines for full members. We are a democratic decision-making body and full members have decision-making roles. For organizations, institutions or individuals who do not meet guidelines for full membership, we welcome your participation at another level as a friend, funder, for-profit partner, or elected official. Alameda County CAN holds quarterly meetings for members at all levels and monthly meetings for full members.

A committee of founding Alameda County CAN members will review all membership applications and issue membership status.  Applicants will be asked to attend a monthly meeting before membership is issued.
