Importance of the CESA Annual Declaration (yearly renewal)
The Annual Declaration must be completed and submitted each year by mid-February. This is a critical requirement, as the staffing figures provided by member firms are used to calculate their annual membership subscriptions. The information collected through the Annual Declaration also assists CESA in monitoring industry statistics, identifying trends, and supporting sector-wide reporting. Please log in to your company profile through Glue-Up: https://cesa.glueup.com/account/login
Please note the following important membership requirements:
Non-compliance — Failure to submit the Annual Declaration and/or pay the annual membership subscription may result in the suspension of membership privileges and, ultimately, the termination of membership.
Membership Certificate — Upon receipt of payment for the annual subscription, a renewed Membership Certificate will be issued. The certificate includes a QR verification code that links directly to the CESA membership database and website, providing proof of current membership status.
