CAPS Connections

In this unique and sometimes solitary profession, CAPS provides a link to essential relationships, partnerships, and mentorship you didn't know you (or your business) needed. Make valued connections with peers and fellow thought-leaders to network, troubleshoot, and learn. Plus, gain friendships and knowledge to last a lifetime.

Chapters

CAPS supports local chapters from east to west that provide in-person events, networking, virtual opportunities, and camaraderie for members across the country.

Local Chapters

CAPS Members have the benefit of in-person meetings through local chapter events and virtual meetings hosted from across the country.
