It depends on the type of membership that you selected when you joined. If you are a Professional, Young Professional, Global eMember, Collegiate or Associate member, the membership is yours and goes with you if leave an organization.
The Nonprofit Organizational Membership for both large and small organizations, and the Executive Circle Business Member or Endorser Business Member belongs to the organization or company. If an employee leaves, the organization may replace the name of the designated member. New members still need to fill out a membership application and sign their adherence to the AFP Code of Ethical Principles and Standards.
You will receive a letter before your membership expires. To renew, please send payment to AFP International or renew online. Please do not send payment to the chapter office; chapter dues should be sent with international dues to AFP International.
Membership Benefit Refreshers are open to all members to spotlight new and exciting benefits, upcoming events, and ways to make the most of AFP membership. These sessions are a great resource for members at every stage of their career so mark your calendar and plan to join one of the upcoming sessions.
When you pay your membership dues, you will receive the member rate at events hosted by any chapter.
If you are in one of the individual membership categories the membership goes with you if you change jobs. If you have an organizational membership, it stays with the organization.
When a member joins AFP, you join both the international organization and a local chapter (exceptions exist if a chapter is not located close to the member). Thus, a member pays annual dues to both AFP International and a local chapter. Learn more about membership types and fees.
Your membership dues depend on the type of membership you choose. Members must self-assess to determine the type of membership for which they are eligible. Prospective members should self-determine the category of membership, and renewing members should review and reassess membership categories. If you are not sure, we’re happy to help! Contact Us
