For other internal ACC documents, such as the ACC Manual of Policies and Procedures, please visit the Member Resources page under the "Member" tab.

The documents below, created by a joint task force of the ACC and the CCAR, were endorsed by both organizations in 2005 in the spirit and support of a positive premise and role model for rabbinic-cantorial partnerships.  The ACC recognizes the  importance of concretizing a platform from which to begin – and further build -- successful and constructive rabbinic-cantorial relationships. We hope that these documents will serve the memberships of both organizations well.  As each organization has endorsed these principles, we include them here with our governing documents.
