New Group Membership Coming to APCO

Open the Doors to APCO for Your Entire Team
New Group Membership Combines Full and Online Categories so Your Whole Staff can Get Involved With APCO.

In the 2012 dues year, APCO will begin offering Group Membership allowing organizations to enroll their entire team rather than just a select few. The group membership package combines new online memberships with traditional full memberships so you can enroll more of your staff without paying for full memberships for everyone. This will put all of the information and resources APCO offers at the fingertips of your staff!

How it Works
Based on the size of your organization, you'll receive a certain number of full memberships and online memberships to assign to your team members. Full members get voting rights and all of the benefits of APCO membership and Online Members get the online magazine, e-bulletin, web access and PSConnect membership. Plan for APCO Group Membership in Your Budget Now!
