VAD Membership

Voice of Albertans with Disabilities has started a new fiscal year and we need your memberships to help offset operational costs.

iVAD or Individual Membership
This group is made up of individuals with lived experiences, their families and their allies. iVAD is about building relationships, speaking to common issues while not being disability specific . iVAD members can attend various VAD events throughout the year. Fees to become an iVAD member are $25 annually but can be waived if they cause financial hardship.

Organizational members
Organizational members are nonprofit organizations and associations who provide services to the disability community and individuals with disabilities. Fees for organizational members are $99 a year.

Corporate members
Corporate Members are for profit businesses that offer products and services for a fee to the general public with a focus on disabilities. Cost of Corporate Membership is $150 annually.

These 3 groups work to generate ideas and solutions to issues that are brought forward to VAD by our board members and the community. VAD works in collaboration with these groups to advocate solutions to community issues.
