Membership FAQs

Is membership transferable to another person?
No. Membership is individual, regardless of whether dues are paid by the individual or the institution. Also, each member signs the Code of Ethics, both when joining and with each renewal.

When does my membership expire?
Membership is on an anniversary date system and varies by individual. You may call the international service office at 800.666.FUND or the chapter office at 781.894.3140 to find out when it’s time for you to renew.

My membership has lapsed. How do I pay my dues?
Dues bills are generated at the international level. Call the international service office at 800.666.FUND to request that a bill be sent to you.

Whom do I notify when I move?
To ensure your records are promptly updated, it’s best to notify both the chapter and international service offices. You may email or call or the chapter office at 781.894.3140. You can contact AFP International through the online member portal. 

Does my membership come with me if I move to another state?
Yes. Since membership is on an individual basis, your membership travels with you. You’ll automatically become a member of the local chapter in your new area.

Is my national membership ID the same as my local chapter website log-in?
It’s not, but you can (and we suggest you do) reset your Massachusetts Chapter username and password so that you’ll have one log-in for both. (Not sure of your Chapter log-in information? Please email or call the local office at 781.894.3140.)

I have my mail sent home. Which address is listed in the directory?
Your business address is listed in the online directory, which is available to members only.
