Membership Chairperson Email: aaplsc@mail.com return to Membership Criteria Table of Contents The Saskatchewan Life Skills Association SLSA has three categories of membership. An Interim member is a qualified Life Skills Coach, newly graduated from a recognized Life Skills Coach Certification course, no charge, no voting privileges. A Certified member is a qualified Life Skills Coach, graduated from a recognized Life Skills Coach Certification course, who has paid the annual membership fee. This member has voting privileges during the annual meetings/executive elections. An Associate member includes Life Skills Coaches who do not wish to have voting privileges and/or are professionals or agencies interested in the SLSA objectives. Certified and Associate members pay the same fee ($35.00). SLSA has not yet clearly defined what a ‘recognized’ training program is in terms of content and duration, but has withdrawn recognition from a trainer on ethical grounds. This carries no sanction other than refusal of membership to the trainer and any subsequent graduates until such time as SLSA for whatever reason once again extends recognition. Besides being ethical, trainings have to have two trainers for each group in order to receive recognition by SLSA. return to Membership Criteria Table of Contents The Life Skills Association of Manitoba LSAM has not defined its membership structure or criteria.. return to Membership Criteria Table of Contents The Maritime Association of Life Skills Coaches MALSC accepts a $50.00 membership fee from any individual who wants to pay it.
