Does my membership belong to me, or to the organization I work for?

The Nonprofit Organizational Membership for both large and small organizations, and the Executive Circle Business Member or Endorser Business Member belongs to the organization or company.

New members still need to fill out a membership application and sign their adherence to the AFP Code of Ethical Principles and Standards.

 

Does my membership stay with me if I switch organizations?

If you are in one of the individual membership categories the membership goes with you if you switch organizations.
