The
State Humane Association of California has nearly 140 members throughout
California. There are two types of memberships: Organization and
Affiliate.
Organization Membership
Open to organizations that are
incorporated as a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, as
required under California Corporations Code section 10400 or the
applicable pre-existing statutes. Organization members have voting
privileges and are approved for membership after review by the Board of
Directors of State Humane.
Annual Membership Dues:
Dues are $50 for Organization members employing up to five
full-time employees and for those members with no paid staff. Both
are Class A organization members. For member organizations employing
more than five full-time employees, dues are $10 for each employee,
with $500 being the maximum.
