Page 57 of your Local Chapter Guide is almost as good as finding one of Willy Wonka’s Golden Tickets. It’s the key to Chapter Relations processing all of your chapter’s hopes and dreams or, in this case, your chapter forms. If you haven’t stopped to see what’s on page 57 yet we’ll give you a hint-it’s the Chapter Re-affiliation form. These are the top five reasons you need to re-affiliate your chapter EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. (Even if your officers don’t change)
1-Support from the APA
Only current and active APA affiliated chapters receive support from the APA. This includes free advertisements on our website, free materials for events, and invitations to exclusive chapter events.
2- Communication with the APA
Chapter Relations sends out a LOT of emails. It is our way of communicating everything with current chapter officers. If your officers aren’t current in our database because you haven’t re-affiliated yet, they’ll be missing out on vital chapter information!
3-Chapter Contests
Your chapter will have the opportunity to participate in all of APA’s awesome chapter contests! We know you work hard, so show it off. You’ll earn awesome prizes, like registration to APA’s Annual Congress, and bragging rights for your chapter!
4-Guidance from a Board of Advisor
Chapters across the nation are divided into 9 regions and each region is supported by one Board of Advisor. Your Advisor is there to help you with any questions you may have or come across! You guessed it though-you have to be an affiliated chapter to have access to your region’s Advisor.
5-Your Forms CAN’T Be Processed Without Re-affiliation
Chapter Relations can’t process your Chapter Forms without the Application for Re-Affiliation. We LOVE helping you out, but we aren’t able to without the form!
So, if your Chapter Officer terms expire soon and you haven’t already completed half of the form while reading this post, then what are you waiting for? Remember, if you have any questions while filling out the form, contact Chapter Relations at 210-226-4600 or ChapterRelations@americanpayroll.org . We are always here to help!
