How to Join CJA - Membership Information
The CJA offers three types of membership:
- Regular Membership ($10 per year)
for active chess journalists
- Associate Membership ($10 per year)
for others interested in chess journalism
- Foreign Membership ($15 per year)
for non-USA residents
New memberships and renewals should be mailed to the Secretary-Treasurer
(with payment in USA funds) at the address for the Secretary-Treasurer
on the Directory page. You can email the Secretary-Treasurer

Make checks payable to "CJA"
(sorry, no credit card payments).
UPDATE (15.03.2010): Now, courtesy of CJA President Alexandra Kosteniuk, you can join CJA via her BLOG at http://www.chessblog.com/ using Paypal. Use one of the following links to pay membership fee via the president's personal on-line store:

Benefits of Membership
Why join CJA? Here are some of the benefits of membership.
- Support CJA in its goals of improving chess journalism in
America (play an active role in making American chess journalism
better!).
- Get a membership card to document your status as a chess
journalist.
- Qualify for a CJA email address: "name@chessjournalism.org".
- Receive the quarterly journal (see The
Journal to download sample copies). As our President has
pointed out on many occasions, the cost of membership is very
modest (and hasn't been raised in many years), and the journal
alone is easily worth this small fee.
- Qualify for occasional notices to be posted on the web site
and/or in the journal. Submit letters to the editor for the
Journal.
- Take part in the Awards program, both as a submitter and as
a Judge.
- Nominate and vote for the officers of CJA (only available
to Regular members)
- Participate fully in CJA activities by joining committees
and writing articles for the journal.
- Give publishers added confidence in your writing by committing
(as a CJA member) to abide by the CJA Code
of Ethics.
For a detailed explanation of the types of membership see the
CJA Constitution & Bylaws (Article
II -- Members).
