Dues up Slightly After 20 Years
The AAMA has successfully held the line against raising your national dues for 20 years, while increasing the quantity and quality of member benefits and services. Since 1992 the cost of these services also has increased.

To continue to meet your needs—now and in the future—a dues increase will be implemented for the 2012 membership year, effective August 1, 2011.

This increase will be only $10 (for active, associate, and affiliate members). Student dues also will see a slight increase of $5.
