Why membership is free for partner-organization members
When your credentialing organization partners with PAWCAP, it provides membership as a member benefit and verifies your credential for us.
How it works
Your organization shares its member list. Your credential is confirmed by the email on that list.
Your membership is active at no cost for as long as the credential is current.
No card is needed for Member. Plus costs the $50 difference a year if you want it.
If your organization is not a partner
You can still join. Add your credential, put a card on file, and PAWCAP staff verify it by hand. The card is charged $99 only when you are approved. Ask your organization to partner and your renewal becomes free.
If you hold several credentials
One current credential from any partner organization makes Member free. The others still show on your profile and collect their own CE.
Membership follows the credential, not the payment. See When a credential ends.
