Benefits:

The most important benefit to you as a member of CalSPRA is a resource of the combined experience and expertise of our members. Whatever the task or problem, your fellow CalSPRA members are ready and willing to provide advice, support and information. In addition to the expertise of its members, CalSPRA offers other support services for members, including:

Several workshops each year, including the annual "Sacramento Summit" in January
Access to the online Membership Directory
Networking and job opportunity information
CalSPRA's e-connection newsletter
E-mail Listserv

One of the most coveted benefits of membership is the listserv, a quick way to broadcast information or ask a question within the organization. The listserv is a network of subscribers who can post a single e-mail that is sent to all who are a part of the system (currently more than 170 CalSPRA members are on the listserv). The wealth of information available through this tool is immeasurable, and the opportunities to learn are infinite. The listserv is monitored by CalSPRA members Joan Ski and Tony Ellis of the Contra Costa County Office of Education and is strictly for those who are CalSPRA members.
