As part of APA Chapter Policy, 51% of your chapter’s members must also be members of APA National. Chapters should regularly share the benefits of APA National membership in order to maintain their percentage and good standing with the national organization. What are these benefits? Below are some of the top incentives for local chapter members to join APA National, as well as ideas for how to promote them:
Membership Discount
The APA provides all local chapters with an annual discount code to waive the $35 enrollment fee typically charged when signing up to be a national member. (Contact Chapter Relations for the code.)
The Latest Payroll Compliance News and Updates
Members receive exclusive news and insights from the APA's team of experts through Payroll Currently, APA's monthly compliance newsletter; breaking payroll news in Compliance Updates, and APA's monthly compliance video series, Compliance TV.
Tough Payroll Questions Answered
Members are able to request insight from experienced payroll professionals on specific questions and issues through access to the APA ListServ and the Hotline Referral Service.
Free eBooks and Webinars
Members have exclusive access to the APA’s library of eBooks and frequent members-only webinars and webinars on demand.
Discounts on APA Educational Offerings
APA members receive significant discounts on all APA payroll training classes, conferences, webinars, web-based programs, online training, and publications.
