CAAR membership renewal, investment fundraising & Perk$

2023/24 Membership Renewal Reminder

CAAR’s 2023/24 membership renewal notices will be sent out on June 1, 2023. Fees remain unchanged and will continue to be used to provide long-term sustainability of CAAR and its programs and services for all members. Your membership ensures your voice is represented in meetings with regulators, as CAAR works to limit the impact new and updated regulations have on retailers’ ability to do business. Membership grants you discounted access to CAAR’s training resources that ensure retailers have the knowledge and certifications required to keep their facilities in compliance. For questions about your CAAR membership or interest in membership for your company, contact the CAAR office at 800-463-9323.

CAAR Pro-Ag Investments Fundraising Results

CAAR has helped raise $57,250 from the recent Pro-Ag Investment Auction, held annually to support our advocacy efforts. As our only fundraiser, the Pro-Ag auction generates critical revenue that helps keep membership fees low while allowing CAAR to partake in a wide range of industry-strengthening initiatives. Every dollar you spend goes directly to the association. Auction items were donated by companies such as Bayer, BrettYoung, Hi Tech Installations, IRM / Sherritt, and Nutrien. CAAR thanks all the people who participated in the auction, and congratulates the successful bidders. Thanks also to the auction sponsors.

CAAR Perk$

Members – don’t forget to access your CAAR Perk$. The CAAR Perk$ Program can help cover the cost of your annual membership! CAAR members have exclusive access to discounted products and services that can save money every year, including exclusive access to programs not widely available, like affordable health and pension benefits.
