UPDATE: It has come to our attention that new members have encountered issues receiving their membership number and confirmation after paying through PayPal. The CBS is working to fix the issue, and in the meantime, anyone encountering this issue can enter “Trainee” in place of a membership number to ensure they are considered for a travel award. We will reconcile memberships manually during the review process, and will be flexible to ensure all eligible trainees are considered for the CBS Travel and Merit Award.
