Member Identification (Member ID) numbers are unique numbers assigned to each person who joins CCPH (including each person who is connected to an Organizational Membership). Member ID numbers are sent in emails confirming membership when you join or renew. Member ID numbers are not transferable—they uniquely identify individuals, and they remain the same for members who rejoin even if their membership has lapsed for several years.

CCPH uses Member ID numbers to make taking advantage of membership services and benefits as easy as possible for members. Member ID numbers help us quickly verify active memberships and provide you with access to discounts on event registrations, publications, member-only web resources and much more! If you are a CCPH member, please keep your Member ID number handy for easy reference when you are registering for a CCPH event, purchasing a publication, etc.

Please note that Organizational Members will need to use their Member ID numbers (and not the Organizational ID number) when consuming CCPH Member benefits.
