CAPPS Membership
By joining CAPPS today you help ensure that our staff and lobbyists are working on the issues that directly affect you. CAPPS is entirely self-supporting and most of that revenue is from dues. While CAPPS works on behalf of all proprietary schools in California our resources are limited and those issues that we focus on are dictated by our member’s concerns. Too many times CAPPS is the first place non-member school’s call when regulations change and too many times it’s too late for CAPPS to provide effective help. By joining now YOU can help direct CAPPS’ priorities.
CAPPS’ staff, lobbyists and legal counsel influence, support or actively oppose over 100 pieces of legislation introduced annually in the state legislature that affect you. We will help you protect your rights to operate your school in a business-like manner.
CAPPS is the only statewide association representing YOU with the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Boards of Dental, Psychology, Medical, Behavioral Sciences, Cosmetology, Respiratory Care, Nursing and other regulatory entities that are critical to your success.
CAPPS has solid working relationships with the California Student Aid Commission, EdFund, California Postsecondary Education Commission and accrediting commissions that you deal with often.
CAPPS Newsletters and Member Updates are devoted entirely to news that affects you. Every member receives the Members Only Update service that provides late breaking information regarding legislation, regulatory issues and other important news that needs to be delivered on a timely basis.
