Being an ACERT member allows you to participate in annual conferences that showcase the capabilities of our response teams and to bring opportunities about for discussion around emergency medical services! Members also have voting privileges at Annual General Meetings that have an impact on national campus response polices.

Being an ACERT member also provides you access to benefits with vendors such as Hard and Fast CPR.

For all these amazing benefits and opportunities, membership is an annual cost of $100 per team.
