2026 Chapter Operating Guidelines

*Each member of your Chapter's CLT is required to complete this form by February 15, 2026. Once each of your registered CLT members have completed this form, your CAPS National Chapter Liaison’s will confirm with your Chapter President that this portion of your affiliated CAPS Chapter requirements have been fulfilled.

Each year, our Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS) Chapters are required to review and sign off on the Chapter Operating Guidelines (CAPS OG). By doing so, your chapter may continue to function as an affiliated Chapter of the CAPS with all of the rights, privileges, and obligations that such an affiliation creates. This annual agreement is an important part of CAPS governance and runs from January 1 to December 31 of each year.

We are asking you to please complete the form below by Febuary 15, 2026.

Please note that Chapter Rebates for April 1st, 2026, and membership renewals will only be sent to a Chapter once the 2026 Operating Guidelines for Chartered Chapters of CAPS (CAPS OG) are completed in full and returned.

In addition, Chapter Charters that remain incomplete as of March 1, 2026, risk an automatic suspension of their Chapter Charter. To avoid this situation, we ask you to please ensure that you complete all of the steps listed below prior to Febuary 15, 2026.

Upon receipt of your submission of the 2026 CAPS OG, we will update your CLT (leadership team) on the CAPS National website under your specific chapter. Should any changes occur during the year to your CLT, simply let us know and those updates will be made.

Please complete the following fields that correspond to the pages in the CAPS OG:
