ABOUT CA2RS

CA2RS was created to provide accident reconstruction training and resources to its members. There is a growing need for more local resources in the accident reconstruction field. We have grown to over 325 paid members and are always looking for ways to strengthen and increase our membership. CA2RS holds its meetings at easily accessible local agencies, providing an environment for members to bring case studies, problems, or helpful solutions and tips to share with other professionals in the field.

Guests

Any non member may attend quarterly training sessions. Non-members are charged 50% of the first annual membership fee. The current first annual membership fee is $50, so the current non-member fee per meeting is $25. If the membership dues increase, the non-member fee will increase proportionately. If you attend a quarterly training session as a non-member and you submit a membership application during the training session, your $25 can be applied toward your first membership fee.

An individual may attend a quarterly training session as a guest upon petition by a member in good standing and at the discretion of the CAARS Board of Directors. Board approval must take place prior to the quarterly training session.

If you plan on attending a meeting as a guest, please RSVP to guarantee adequate space.
