ASAP Annual Membership Renewal/Join

New! Agency Memberships/Subscriptions

This is a very exciting time to be a part of ASAP.  The 2023 training events were resounding successes and we are offering more member benefits, i.e., free webinars and developing other virtual events including a virtual privacy program in March 2024. And our certification program is back on track and in the final stages. Annual dues for regular, associate and student members remain at only $50.00 (membership year is October 1 – September 30.) Log on and pay your dues. It’s easy, but if you need help, contact us at asap@accesspro.org.

NEW! At the annual membership meeting on June 27, 2023, members voted to amend the ASAP bylaws to include a provision for agency membership/subscription. Detailed information on this new category can be found here.

The ASAP membership year runs from October 1 — September 30. Membership dues are $50 per year and are not prorated.
