- Individuals employed by other organizations (voting)
- Individuals who are consumers (voting)
- Other individuals (voting)
- Associate (non-voting)
(The following excerption is from the SWPAPC's By-laws, Article V, Section 5.2.)
QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP (Voting)
Members must actively serve on a SWPAPC planning-related or other committee. Members who serve on the Board of Directors (other than Committee Chairs) shall have that service count as committee service. Committee members with less than three months of committee service do not have a vote at any Annual or Special Meeting. Members must apply from one of four categories:
