Voting and Nominations
Participation in APPAM Governance activities depends on the membership type:
- Professional Members have voting privileges in all APPAM elections, are eligible for nomination to the Policy Council, and can nominate colleagues to the Policy Council.

- Student Members are non-voting members. Student members may be nominated for the Policy Council as a Student Representative, and to the Student Advisory Committee.
Membership Dues & How to Join
.png)
APPAM defines an "institutional member" to be an entire organization, not any specific unit within an organization that might pay the annual institutional dues. Multiple units within an organization may share the dues payment for the organization and each unit may name its own representative, and have separate listings in the APPAM institutional membership directory.
Institutional membership dues are payable in January of each year.
Please note that institutional membership does not include individual membership benefits for all persons employed at an APPAM institutional member. In order to enjoy individual membership benefits, the institution must set up the complimentary memberships, or an individual can join as a professional member.
