The primary representative and alternate representative you designate will each receive a copy of all mailings generated by CGEA (notifications of meetings, conferences, workshops, training classes, our newsletter, the Geogram, any special bulletins, etc.). For an additional $75 per year per office, you can designate additional branch offices to receive this information. In addition, your technician representative will receive mailings for programs that specifically relate to technicians.

We offer special savings incentives to our members on programs and other packages throughout the year. In addition, members may elect to make donations to the CGEA Scholarship Fund (tax deductible as a charitable donation) or the Voluntary General Fund.

All membership dues are usually tax deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense.

* Employee,” for purposes of CGEA membership dues calculations, is defined as any person directly involved in soil engineering, geology, or environmental sciences; support staff (lab and field technicians) and administrative staff involved in supporting these services in the State of California. Part-time employees should be included on a full-time equivalent basis (total part-time-employee hours divided by 160 hours).
