  • CA Members: $180
  • Retirees: $100
  • Students: $36
Sponsorship Opportunities
But as affordable as this convention is, we know that there are always colleagues among us whose circumstances would prevent them from participating without assistance. Please consider taking advantage of these additional sponsorship opportunities:
  • Scholarship for cantors to attend
  • Sponsor a student $36
  • Sponsor a session $500
  • Sponsor a recital $750
  • Sponsor an evening concert $2500
  • General convention support
And that's it. No flights, no hotels, no taxis or shuttle buses, no worries about special meal accommodations. no roommates (other than your existing permanent ones!). An internet connection is all you need!
We can't wait to welcome you to our virtual convention, and are ready to assist with any questions you might have about the registration process.
