 * The benefits available to members, depending on their particular type of membership (see table above for details), are as follows:-

1)         The basic contact details of the member’s organisation, and of the services it provide, will be included in the Membership Lists published on the CAA’s web site.  Here visitors to the site can view and search the updated list of members in either Name order or Suburb/Town order.  This means someone looking for a Studio or Business near their home can easily find some.

2)         The same details will be published in a printed Membership Listing which is printed at least twice per year and copies are sent to all members.  Extra copies are available for members to give to their students or customers or potential customers.  Copies of this Listing are also distributed by the Association at several craft shows in NSW throughout the year.

3)         For an extra annual fee**, each Standard Member who is part of a business has the option for their business to also have a Member Profile web page on the CAA web site.  This page gives much more detail about the company’s business and can include photographs and graphics. From this page visitors can link to the member’s own business web site (if one exists) and can e-mail directly, if an e-mail address is included. (Note:  This facility is free for Corporate Members.)

4)         An information pack about the annual Ceramic Art Show organised in Sydney by the Association is mailed out to all Standard and Corporate Members.

5)         Discount rates apply for Corporate and Standard Members on booth and trade table hire at the CAA’s Annual Ceramic Art Show.

6)         Other discounts are available to members, as determined by the committee from time to time.

7)         A regular CAA news letter is sent to all members six times per year.

8)         You have the right to put the words " …. (member-type)…. Member of the Ceramic Art Association of NSW Inc" on any of your business paperwork items, or on your web site.

9)         You can attend speciality workshops organised by the Association throughout the year.

10)      All members can attend Association general meetings.  All voting member types can participate in the business of general meetings including voting and offering to be nominated to serve on the Committee.

11)      Any member can ask for a small notice to be placed in the ‘Help Wanted’ section of the CAA web site, free of charge.

12)      All members who supply an e-mail address can elect to be kept informed of updates posted on the CAA web site, or informed of other news and information which may be of immediate interest to members.

**         A Member’s Web Profile costs $35 for the first year (includes the set-up fee) and $20 per annum thereafter.
