Why Officialize APAMSA's Membership System?
Since APAMSA’s inception in 1995, the organization has grown exponentially. We have formalized our leadership structure with an Executive Board, created subcommittees within the national board, established an Alumni Advisory Board, and added regional conferences. With a growing membership, it is essential and necessary to create an official membership process for record keeping, membership confirmation, eligibility for member benefits, etc.
We are implementing dues to ensure a stable source of income, so National APAMSA can provide more scholarships, grants, opportunities, and discounts for our members and local chapters. 100% of the dues will go back to our chapters and allow us to further invest in and build our infrastructure.
