"We all love the Chesapeake and the treasures it provides us. A life membership is an investment we can make to support CCA and its great efforts to save our fisheries."

--Dick Franyo (Annapolis Chapter)

Becoming a life member of CCA allows you to demonstrate your long-term support of marine resources plus is a great benefit to the Maryland chapter.

“While we encourage recreational anglers and conservation-minded citizens to join CCA in any way they desire, becoming a life member assists our chapter in providing its advocacy and membership services,” said Executive Director Tony Friedrich. “When you join as a life member, $945 of your $1,000 dues goes directly to the state.”

A life membership costs $1,000 and can be paid in four quarterly installments. Once a life member, one no longer has to pay the membership portion of any CCA event, including banquet tickets, entry fees to tournaments, etc. Additionally, $940 of the membership is tax deductible.

Life members receive from CCA National a saltwater art print and an attractive glass paperweight in recognition of joining.
