One frequent inquiry (FAQs) involves membership dues. The cost of chapter membership usually comprises corporate and local dues combined, and is assessed annually by the ACP Corporate. All ACP chapters establish their own local chapter dues. Differences in dues structures typically represent variations in local economies, costs associated with providing direct member services and benefits, and member preferences. However, for any individual without convenient access to the nearest chapter— an unaffiliated ACP general membership is available for $75 annually (United States applicants, includes territories and international applicants).

If you are considering an ACP membership, there is no better investment or greater return. One of many reasons members cite for joining or renewing a membership is the hands-on approach towards “Setting the Trend” that occurs at the local and national levels. This unique feature makes the ACP a premier organization as compared to others.
