APPAM Launches New Online Membership Payment System and Shifts to New Membership Billing Cycle
Members may now renew their memberships and non-members may join the association using the new online payment system. Payment may be made by credit card using a secure payment portal operated by USA ePay in affiliation with Network Solutions Merchant Services. Payment also may be made by check.
As part of the launch of this new system, APPAM is asking all members who are renewing memberships to re-enter all membership data. After years of using paper forms for memberships, the data available to the APPAM office may no longer be accurate. The office also is shifting to billing members for memberships by the month that their memberships expire rather than by the quarter. The office will send members notices by email and surface mail regarding this new payment cycle.
