Steps to become a CPP member:
The CPP is a self-reporting evaluation process to which businesses and organizations apply for annual membership. Evaluation is based on an application process involving 3 levels of membership: Partner, Associate, and Certified. Once Certified status has been achieved the applicant will be considered for Gold, Silver, or Bronze levels of Certification. This transparent reporting framework allows CDSN to identify and commend progress of program members. Read the CPP Terms of Service before submitting an application.
1. Review CPP membership levels and determine which to apply for
Applications can be found online. Please read through each application before submitting to make sure you are applying for the membership level that you intend. If you are unsure about the eligibility of your business, please contact Jennifer Clifford at jclifford@cdsn.org
