APA National Membership
We invite you to join us as a member of the American Planning Association (APA). APA is the essential membership association for planners. No other organization associated with the planning profession provides the quantity and quality of information, continuing education, and peer relationships that APA does. Membership in APA provides you with the most opportunities to elevate the practice of planning, the communities you serve, and your career.
With APA National membership, choose from a variety of membership types:
- APA and AICP Membership
- New Member (2-year introductory rate)
- Student Member (free)
- Group Memberships (Commissions, Board, Academics)
APA offers an Auto-Renewal Program where you can pay your annual dues in monthly installments instead of one lump annual sum. You can sign up online when joining or during your membership renewal.
Visit the APA website at www.planning.org/join/ for more information.
APA California (Chapter-Only)
The APA California Chapter also provides the opportunity for anyone interested in California planning activities to join as a Chapter-Only member. Chapter-Only membership is a lower cost ($150) option but some restrictions apply. As a Chapter-Only member, you will be entitled to:
- All Chapter and Section publications
- A discount at the annual APA California state conference
- The opportunity to participate on the APA California Legislative Review Team
- Membership in the California Planning Foundation (CPF)
- The ability to vote in California APA elections
