About membership

ACCAN has three categories of membership:

- Ordinary Members are 'not for profit' organisations or individuals whose purposes align with ACCAN’s. They are able to nominate and vote for positions on ACCAN’s board of directors;

- Associate Members (non-voting) are organisations or individuals interested in working with ACCAN but do not wish or are not eligible to be voting members; and

- Life Members are current members who are acknowledged by ACCAN as having made a significant contribution to consumer rights in the communications field.

We value your voice

ACCAN trusts our member network to inform us about the communications issues that are affecting themselves and/or their members/clients. To effectively advocate for change our lobbying and campaigns need to be evidence based and supported by strong personal stories. We therefore regularly seek input from our members in the form of surveys or occasional telephone calls. If you don’t have the time to participate, we don’t mind but equally welcome contact from our members whenever there is an issue that you’d like us to look at.
