CSWE Individual Membership Update

All active individual CSWE memberships for the current membership year of April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022 will be extended to June 30, 2022. CSWE will not accept new individual membership payments for future membership years after March 31, 2022 in light of a forthcoming membership vote on bylaw changes that would change the very definition of “CSWE member.” 

CSWE no longer accepts purchase orders and partial payments for membership.

CSWE membership is non-transferable. The membership fee is non-refundable after a week of a newly initiated or updated membership, or if any of membership benefits were accessed.
