Your Investment

One membership covers all principals, partners, and employees of your company. All members of your organization receive full membership benefits. Your first year membership in the Association Of Wedding Professionals is $150, which includes a $25 one-time application processing fee and annual dues of $125.

The Association uses a January through December billing cycle in order to streamline our renewal process. Therefore we prorate the first year's dues based on the month you join through the end of the year. Since we don't hold meetings in August and December, this leaves 10 months that we use to prorate.

If you are joining effective the next meeting, count the number of meetings for which you will be a member this year, multiply by $12.50 and add the $25 application fee. AWP meeting months are:

	January	February	March	April	May
	June	July	September	October	November

(Ex.: If you join in April, your initial dues would be: $112.50)
