Applying for Signature Membership

The CMPS Signature committee reviews applications for Signature membership annually.  You must have been a Regular member for at least 8 months to apply for Signature status.

Completed applications are due by October 1 and decisions are emailed to applicants by November 1.  Detailed information and criteria for signature membership will be posted here on May 1. If you have questions about Signature Membership in the meantime, contact president@cmpastels.org.
