Beginning July 1, all APWA members will see a significant increase in the value of their membership.
On that date, APWA members will be able to participate in live Click, Listen & Learn presentations without a registration fee, access previously recorded Click, Listen & Learn programs at no charge, access content from past International Public Works Congress and Exposition sessions at no extra charge, read downloadable versions of select books from the APWA Store at no charge, view select podcasts and track Continuing Education Units and Professional Development Hour credits without an administrative recording fee.
Members will be able to access this content at any time, making scheduling and the approval process no longer necessary.
The APWA board approved a dues increase of $15 per member (excluding retired and student members) to fund this new benefit. For example, an individual membership will be $164 (up from $149 a year) ago, beginning with the July 1, 2012 membership renewal cycle. However, the cost for just ONE Click, Listen & Learn program is $175 for members and $300 for non-members. Taking advantage of just one of the resources in the 24/7 online library more than pays for the increase in your individual membership.
The renewal cycle will remain the same. As an example, a member whose membership does not expire until January, will be able to take advantage of the new 24/7 online resource library for six months without incurring any additional cost.
