Life Member & Retired Member Information

Retired Member

Members who are not yet eligible for Life Membership may be entitled to a reduced annual dues rate provided they

meet BOTH the following requirements:

* continuous membership for at least 10 years

* fully retired from active service for which compensation is received

Retired Member Benefits * Same as for Individual Members

* Annual membership dues reduced to approximately 30% of the rate for US Individual membership (approximately 25%

of Canadian Individual membership dues) plus any applicable chapter dues. Contact APWA headquarters for exact
