Whom should I contact if I am unsure whether my membership is still current?
You can send an e-mail to Parthenia Purnell [parthenia.purnell@aphsa.org], or call her at (202) 682-0100, x276. If you have your five-digit member number handy that will expedite things, but it is not necessary.

What is the connection between my registering for an APHSA affiliate conference and my becoming an individual member of APHSA?
By virtue of your attendance at some APHSA affiliate conferences, you automatically become an individual member of APHSA for one year. If you are already an individual member, your membership is renewed for another year. Membership fees are used to defray the cost of publication production, to support APHSA's infrastructure and to deliver core services for members. As an individual member you may also receive APHSA's daily electronic news clipping service.

How can I become an individual member without registering for an affiliate conference?
There are two primary ways you can initiate an individual membership independent of attending an affiliate conference. First, you can apply for membership via our web site, pay by credit card, or you can print the application and mail it to APHSA with a check enclosed. The second way you can apply is by requesting a membership brochure, which will be mailed to you. Click here to access an application.

What are the benefits of individual membership?
For more than 80 years, APHSA has provided individual members with a professional home base and an important investment in career and professional development. Your individual membership with APHSA offers the following benefits:

• Knowing about and understanding critical and timely human service issues
• Networking, career development, and advancement
• Obtaining federal legislation, regulations and funding that are responsive to human service professionals' needs and priorities

Individual members receive our flagship magazine, Policy & Practice, and are eligible to receive our daily electronic news clipping service.

When does APHSA send dues renewal invoices to members?
Individual memberships run on a 12-month membership year based on when your membership was initiated. We mail dues renewal invoices three months before the end of the membership year. If you attend the same affiliate conference from which your membership began the year prior (or another affiliate conference about the same time of year), your membership will be automatically renewed through your registration fee.
