Step 1: Explore Member Benefits

Before applying for membership, we encourage you to visit our Member Benefits page to discover the various tiers of membership available and determine which one best suits the needs and interests of your organization. Each tier offers distinct advantages tailored to different organizational requirements.

Step 2: Fill Out the Membership Form

Once you have identified the most suitable membership tier, proceed to fill out the Membership Form. This form serves as your official application to join AAEA. There are three sections: About the Organization, About You, and Membership Information. Please fill out what you can; the form may feel long, but other than the few required questions, everything else will just help us get to know you and your organization better and stay more connected. Please provide accurate information, including your organization's details and contact information.

Step 3: Invoice and Payment

After submitting the Membership Form, we will review your application and send an invoice to the Billing Email address provided in the form. The invoice will include the membership fee corresponding to your chosen tier. Memberships renew annually in January; if joining outside of that time, your dues will be prorated based on when you submit your application. We accept payment via check, ACH, debit card, or credit card, and instructions for each will be available on your invoice.

Step 4: Confirmation and Website Inclusion

Upon receipt of payment, AAEA will promptly update its website to showcase your organization's logo and information in the designated membership section. This inclusion serves as acknowledgment of your membership status within the AAEA community.

Step 5: Enjoy Membership Benefits

Congratulations! You are now officially a part of the AAEA network. Take full advantage of the benefits associated with your chosen membership tier, including access to valuable resources, networking opportunities, and industry insights.
