- Member association dues are $150 for professional members. Professional
members belonging to chapters and now associates will pay a fee of $50 for
the chapter/associate portion, for a total dues amount of $200 for

additional amount on behalf of the chapter.)
- The dues are $200 for domestic members-at-large (who do not belong to a
chapter), and for international members-at-large (who are not members of an
international associate).
- The dues amount for retired members is $75, plus chapter dues if
applicable. There are no changes to academic, student, and international

- The enterprise membership has a tiered structure. APICS offers
enterprise members the opportunity to add additional members based on a
sliding scale (illustration below). The current group membership structure
will be phased out and current group members will transition to enterprise
members as memberships come up for renewal.
