Introduced in 2026, alumni membership offers a way for long-standing CODART members to stay connected with the network even after they no longer qualify for regular or associate membership (for instance, due to retirement). Alumni membership ensures that the invaluable experience and insight of our alumni continue to enrich our network.

Membership is open to those who have been members for at least five years (or ten consecutive years for former associate members) and wish to remain visible to the CODART community.

For more information and to apply for alumni membership, see our Membership page.
