WE WANT YOU!Up your project leadership game by joining COAA. The value of COAA membership is off-the-charts high. An entire Owner organization can join for $1,050/year. For an organization with 25 staff in the planning/design/construction department, that means a cost of only $42/person. Beyond the tangible benefits – especially for Emerging Pros (age 35 or younger) – membership opens the door to engagement and volunteer opportunities. Give back to the industry, network with like-minded and motivated peers, direct the organization's future, and build your resume. The ball is in your court! If you are interested in learning more about COAA membership and/or volunteer opportunities, contact Jessica Bonin at jbonin@coaa.org |
