Group or enterprise membership is a comprehensive approach to providing employees with valuable education and networking opportunities to increase their knowledge and productivity while improving operations and revenue.

This enables the five employees designated as Corporate Voters (CV) to receive full membership benefits in APICS such as:

• progressive management trends and techniques

• performance-enhancing educational programs

• results-oriented certification programs

• subscription to "The Performance Advantage"

• chapter membership

  • Columbus Chapter Newsletter

With a corporate membership, all of your employees at the company site can take advantage of member discounts. If an individual leaves, the company retains the membership and designates another member.

Join as a student member

APICS student membership offers full-time students significantly reduced membership dues while they pursue a degree, at an accredited college or university – undergraduate or graduate. Regardless of the number of credit hours taken, a person is not eligible for APICS Student Membership if gainfully employed on a full-time basis.

New APICS Membership Dues Structure for Enterprise/Group Members

The APICS Board of Directors approved a new membership dues structure beginning April 1, 2008. The focus for APICS continues to be on providing the value that members seek to improve their on-the-job performance, advance in their careers, and thrive as operations management professionals. The new dues structure will provide greater support and resources to APICS partners (chapters, districts, and IAs) who deliver programs locally.

The APICS Board of Directors approved the following membership dues structure, effective April 1, 2008.

• Member association dues are $150 for professional members. Professional members belonging to chapters and now associates will pay a fee of $50 for the chapter/associate portion, for a total dues amount of $200 for professional members. (If a chapter charges more, APICS will collect the additional amount on behalf of the chapter.)
• The dues are $200 for domestic members-at-large (who do not belong to a chapter), and for international members-at-large (who are not members of an international associate).
• The dues amount for retired members is $75, plus chapter dues if applicable. There are no changes to academic, student, and international associate fees.
• The enterprise membership has a tiered structure. APICS offers enterprise members the opportunity to add additional members based on a sliding scale (illustration below). The current group membership structure will be phased out and current group members will transition to enterprise members as memberships come up for renewal.

Enterprise Membership/Group Membership (Effective 2Q 2008)

The new dues structure support will enhance the capabilities of APICS partners with support from corporate office-funded field staff, funding to deliver enhanced member benefits and services locally, and new and enhanced tools and resources for chapter leaders.
