The CA’s long established Refer a Friend membership programme continues to thrive and for 2024, the discount has been refined, the joining fee is gone, and we have expanded how we say thank you to members.
The CA’s priority remains on building a community that values quality advice and connections. Member referrals remain the most significant way we welcome new members.
