About this template
Made with professional bodies, institutes and societies in mind, this Associate Member Certificate helps you welcome a new member without starting from a blank page. On CerShare it comes in the Bottle & Brass colour scheme, with flowing waves as the centrepiece; the lettering pairs Brawler with Figtree. You will also find it under Professional Certification on CerShare.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Welcome to [Club], [Name]! Your membership is valid from [Date] to [Date].
Presented to [Name] on election to [Grade] of [Society], [Year].
With a warm welcome to [Name], our newest member since [Month Year].
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the member no., member since and grade fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. The design comes with three colour schemes (Navy & Gold, Charcoal & Teal and Bottle & Brass), and every single colour can be changed. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. Print one copy on plain paper first to check the spelling and the margins. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
