Renewing your membership
WSPMA membership dues are paid through APMA.
- In May of each year, you will receive a dues invoice for the entire fiscal year from the APMA for both state and national dues.
- You will pay the APMA directly, not the WSPMA, the dues for the year based based on the amounts listed above. The APMA will accept credit card payments.
- If the total dues for the year are not paid by August 31, your membership will be suspended by the APMA. They will send a suspension letter and a final reminder notice out on that date. If you pay right after receiving the notice, you will be reinstated.
- If a member has circumstances that limit their ability to pay the dues and they want to remain a member, they should let WSPMA know before August 31.
APMA has a 5.4 status program where a portion of the dues is waived for financial difficulty, illness, etc. This can only be instituted for a current member, not after suspension.
