However to receive notification of upcoming Section meetings/events, members must be enrolled in those Sections. Non-enrolled members can access the Sections Calendar to view all upcoming Section meetings.¹

The CCCA BC Section (formerly Corporate Counsel) is included in CBA membership and auto-enrolled for in-house counsel.  If you had not previously signed up for regular membership of CCCA, please contact the branch staff to update your records before enrolling.

If you're adding a new Section to your enrollment, your existing enrollments will already be selected in the form. For convenience, a Section will be pre-selected for a member who is sitting on the executive of a Section.

Enrollment for 2017/2018 is currently open. There is no official deadline to enroll, however we do recommend members do so before mid-September as many Sections will begin hosting their first meetings of the year in early fall.  We will continue to accept Section enrollments throughout the year. If a lawyer ceases to be a CBA member, Section enrollment will be terminated. 

You can visit the online enrollment form again to add or remove Sections.
