Looking to Join or Renew your Division 50 Membership?

Here’s how to join or renew membership in Division 50:

·        If you are a general APA member: Last fall, you should have received a personalized email to renew your Division 50 membership in conjunction with your larger APA membership. If you have any problems renewing your general APA membership in conjunction with your Division 50 membership or if you prefer to do so on the phone, you can call the APA membership office at 1-800-374-2721 for assistance. You can also check your status/renew here.

·        If you are NOT a general APA member OR you want to check whether you have renewed your Division memberships OR you want to join or renew only for Division 50 and not APA: Please click here, set up an web account (APA membership not required), and scroll down to Division 50. Anyone can check their Division 50 membership status on this page. If you want to join Division 50/renew on the phone, you can do so at APA’s membership office 1-800-374-2721, even if you aren’t an APA member.
