Frequently asked questions about AFP
membership …
Does my membership belong to me, or to the
organization I work for?
It depends on the type of membership that you join. 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.
Does my membership stay with me if I switch
organizations?
If you are in one of the individual membership categories, the
membership goes with you if you switch organizations.
What if I am retiring?
If you have been an AFP member for the past 5 years, check your
membership renewal invoice and indicate the change to the Retired
Member category. If you prefer, you can call AFP membership services
at 800-666-3863.
How much does membership cost?
When a member joins AFP, he or she joins both the international
organization and a local chapter. Thus, a member pays annual and local
dues to the International Headquarters, which reimburses your local dues
to the local chapter.
How much are the dues to International
Headquarters?
Your membership dues depend on the type of membership applicable to
you. 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.
Click here for descriptions of the categories available to you.
From the dues you send to AFP International, the AFP North Central
Ohio Chapter will receive $25-$35, depending on the membership level you
choose.
How long does my membership last?
Your membership lasts 12 months, starting in the month you officially
become a member.
