Membership

Your Chapter Member fee allows us to offer local CME opportunities. Your dues payment also allows the San Diego Chapter of the ACS to operate and continue to provide you with local networking, outreach and advocacy opportunities.

Fellows, Associate Fellows, and Retirees who are members of the ACS can join by paying dues. Members must be an ACS member residing in the state of California.
