Membership
Museum Membership
The Canadian Aviation Historical Society (CAHS) has created a new membership category for museums. The CAHS expressly designed the Museum Member option for three purposes:
- To attract museums to join with the CAHS in preserving and celebrating Canada's aviation history;
- To help cross-promote the profile of Canada's aviation museums and the CAHS through the organizations' membership and networks; and
- To foster an increasing sense of community and professionalism amongst aviation museums.
For the annual cost of $100, a Museum Member gains access to these exciting benefits:
- Baseline CAHS National membership rights: 1 copy of quarterly Journal; 1 vote at annual AGM; access to Members' Only section of www.cahs.ca website; space to create a Member's Page on www.cahs.ca website;
- Donation tax receipt for $50;
- Museum's name displayed in each monthly CAHS newsletter, linked to the Museum Member's web site;
- The ability to contribute news, information, and updates to a Museum Members column of the CAHS e-newsletter;
- The CAHS will work to schedule at least one museum related speaker at the annual convention;
- Invite Museum Members to schedule a Museum Members session in conjunction with the CAHS annual convention to discuss museum related issues;
- An invitation to place one pre-printed flyer in each of our quarterly CAHS Journal mailings for free (up to a $100 benefit);
- Museum Members would be offered special rates for selling the CAHS Journal in their gift shop:
• $4/Journal to buy stock for their gift shop for 1-5 copies per issue
• The CAHS would provide up to 5 more copies for free (copies 6-10)
• As of copy 11, museums would pay $4/issue again
• Up to a $80 benefit; - Be offered display space for free at our annual convention;
- In return, the CAHS requests that Museum Members would:
• Put a link to the CAHS website on their website
• Include CAHS info items in newsletters
• Permit CAHS membership brochures to be displayed
• Inform their members that the CAHS Journal seeks articles on aviation history.
This is a $230 value, available to Canadian aviation museums for only $100. We do hope that you see great value in becoming a member of the CAHS and that you will join in our quest to help preserve Canada's aviation history as we record, disseminate, and celebrate the tremendous accomplishments that have taken place in on Canadian soil and in Canadian skies.
