Join or renew your AAPA membership online!
Per the AAPA Bylaws, memberships run from January 1 to December 31 of every calendar year. Dues must be paid before the Annual Meeting to hold an active membership status for the current year.
We use a membership management platform called Join It. Join It can collect your dues payment online and if you choose, process your dues renewals automatically. Once you pay, you can create a username and password and can update your contact information on your own.
