C.A.A.N. welcomes all members regardless of sexual orientation, gender, political or religious affiliation, ethnicity, age, etc. All that’s required is that you support the mission and goals of the organization; joining at whatever membership level is comfortable is the best way you can show that support. While the majority of our members come from the Chicagoland area, we invite those from any geographic area to become part of our growing network.
