Membership
Our membership is not just limited to the Orange County area, but we in fact have members from all over Southern California. The OCCAC has several membership levels to choose from. Although CACI rules say we must request you be at least 21 years or older, most members are in their early to late 40's+. All age groups are represented and welcome. You may become a member as long as you meet specific requirements for the membership level desired. And there is never a cut-off age limit for the OCCAC. When you join the OCCAC you also automatically become a member of the CACI (depending on membership type).
Becoming a CAC Member
The OCCAC, like most CAC's, require a four-year college degree for full membership privileges while also having Associate/Equivalent, or Subscriber memberships.
For more information on becoming an OCCAC member, or types of membership offered, please direct questions to the Membership VP listed on our contact page. We will be glad to send you an application and a newsletter with events you can attend in the meantime. Or you can simply download and print the membership application here following the prompts, or request information here. Please be sure to fill out all information.

Membership is contingent upon Board approval. The OCCAC has the right to refuse membership to anyone based on requirements according to our bylaws and CACI regulations. The OCCAC also has the right to refuse membership or renewal based on member's standing with the OCCAC. The OCCAC has the right to revoke any membership, at any time based upon a full Board vote.
