Updates to ASSP Membership Fees

In July 2024 ASSP announced a phased increase in membership dues over the next three years. This decision was voted on by the ASSP Board of Directors and was based on the results of a research project that was approved in 2022 and the fact that costs continue to increase to deliver exceptional member benefits. The research indicated that most members would support an increase in their investment if membership provided additional value. The two key changes are:

  1. Phased increase in annual membership dues over next three years
  2. All members can now join any and all Common Interest Groups and Practice Specialties at NO COST, giving them access to these colleagues across industries and identities and free CEUs through webinars offered by these communities.

Phased Increase in Membership Fees

Starting September 2024:

  • Phased increase in dues over the next three years:
    • First Year: $195 USD (currently $180 in U.S., $150 in Canada)
    • Second Year: $205 USD
    • Third Year: $215 USD
  • Other rates:
    • Members outside U.S. and Canada: $80 USD
    • Students and emeritus members: $15 USD

This is the first increase for U.S. members since a phased increase between 2017-2019.

This change does NOT affect your chapter dues.

Increased Free Access to CIG and PS Communities!

As part of this restructuring, all members will now have the opportunity to join any or all common interest groups and practice specialty communities at no additional cost. Previously, membership in each group or community was $20/each/year. Here are a few benefits you can receive when participating in these communities:

  • Broader Connections: Engage with colleagues across 18 practice specialties and four common interest groups.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Collaborate, discuss best practices, and share resources with industry peers.
  • Learning Opportunities: Access over 80 webinars annually, many offering free CEUs.
  • Financial Relief: No extra fees for joining groups, reducing financial burden.
  • Customizable Experience: Add or remove groups anytime to suit your needs.
  • Commitment to DEI: Reflects ASSP’s dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
