# Successfully Re-Affiliate Your Chapter in 4 Easy Steps

Each year, APA Local Chapters must re-affiliate, or renew their chapter with the APA, by updating their current membership profiles and starting new officer terms. If you have recently elected new officers or your officer terms have expired, use the following four steps to successfully re-affiliate your chapter.

1. Review the **‘American Payroll Institute, Inc. Policy Statement Regarding Chapter Affiliation Adopted June 25, 1986’**, located on pages 47-50 in the [Local Chapter Guide](http://info.americanpayroll.org/pdfs/chapters/chapterguide.pdf).
2. Fill out the **‘Application for Chapter Re-Affiliation’**, located on pages 57-60 of the [Local Chapter Guide](http://info.americanpayroll.org/pdfs/chapters/chapterguide.pdf).
3. Produce a spreadsheet (**in Excel format only, no PDFs please**) containing the following member and officer information in separate columns: 
     1. APA National ID# (if applicable)
     2. First Name
     3. Last Name
     4. Company Name
     5. Company Title
     6. Address
     7. City
     8. State
     9. Zip
     10. Phone
     11. Fax
     12. Email
     13. Date Local Chapter Officer Terms End
4. Submit the form and the spreadsheet **at the same time** to APA’s Chapter Relations department via email [ChapterRelations@americanpayroll.org](mailto:ChapterRelations@americanpayroll.org) or fax (210) 281-3976.
