| Know before using | Public pages explain the organization and calendar, while many classes, meetings, programs, and benefits require registration, payment, or membership. CGOA's statement that it sets a national standard is its own mission language, not evidence that every class, member, chapter, instructor, or portfolio is independently accredited, approved, or suitable for a particular learner. | A profile, match, uploaded credential, training credit, award, or platform ranking is not independent certification of a supplier or proof of current capability, performance, impact, capacity, or project fit. The platform's own ranking inputs and paid visibility affect discovery. Verify credentials with the issuer and check the legal entity, production site, claims, samples, references, terms, and compliance directly. |

| What the source establishes | CGOA's current public pages identify it as a volunteer-led nonprofit and describe online education, in-person and online events, local chapters, mentorship, scholarships, professional programming, and portfolio-based Masters skill-building programs. Its calendar distinguishes specific classes, meetings, retreats, and professional events. | Common Objective currently offers free individual and business profiles, personalised matches, supplier and content search, and limited monthly connection requests. Paid tiers unlock unlimited connections, additional content, training credits, and the CO Create sourcing workflow. Businesses enter their own profile information and upload certification or membership evidence; profile completeness, sustainability material, training credits, awards, and paid capabilities can influence visibility or ranking. |
