Getting Started

PATCA takes great pride in the high caliber expertise of our members. We invite experienced consultants in all fields, as well as highly-skilled new consultants, to join the oldest professional consulting organization of its kind. PATCA established its credibilty with the technology and business communities early on, with members who helped define ethical standards for the consulting industry.

Applicants are encouraged to explore membership by first attending a monthly program and meeting other PATCA members. If you're unable to attend a PATCA program, you may wish to contact an existing member to gain a better understanding of the value in joining our organization, or to discuss any questions you may have.

Newer consultants may wish to inquire about our successful mentorship program and visit the Kickstart Club. Prospective consultants are also most welcome to attend PATCA meetings to explore consulting as a career choice.

Our membership application process is straightforward but thorough, and it includes letters of reference from past or current clients and professional colleagues, as explained on the following pages.
