FAQs
Can a division or department of a larger organization join as a member on its own?
Yes, please specify the department/division name in the “Company” field on the membership application.
What is the approval process for new members?
All new Agency and Company & Consultant members must submit an Agency and Company & Consultant application (PDF). The application must then be approved, which generally takes about a week but can take up to nine weeks. The organization and its employees will be eligible for APHA member benefits as soon as approval and dues payment are secured.
What if I'm an individual member of APHA already?
Before joining or renewing as an individual APHA member, please consult your management office to see if your organization is either currently an APHA Agency or Company & Consultant member or is in the process of becoming one. Refunds and member type changes will not be offered retroactively. Members who join or renew independent of an organization are eligible to renew at the agency individual rate at the end of their membership term as long as their organization is a member in good standing.
How do I know if my organization is a member?
Active APHA organizational members are listed alphabetically in the Agency Member Directory. The directory does not reflect organizations that are in the process of applying for membership. Please consult your organizational leadership to inquire about your organization’s membership status.
