Membership in CAIRS is available for organizations and individuals that provide information and referral, information and assistance, or other information services.
CAIRS members have access to various resources and products developed through the Association. Valuable information and training is available from both CAIRS and the national organization, AIRS, on I&R Standards, best practices, individual certification and accreditation for your agency.
CAIRS and AIRS have teamed together in 2006 and are offering a joint membership to pack more power into supporting and strengthening the I&R field. One combined membership registration joins your agency to both AIRS and CAIRS. Four levels of membership are offered: Basic, Standard, Enhanced, and Premium. Your new dual membership in CAIRS and AIRS provides unique benefits at each membership level. Click here to review membership levels and benefits.
