Membership Discount

With the recent growth of companies, it has come to APA’s attention that there is room for membership discounts. Therefore, the APA executive now grants a 20% discount to archaeological firms or other organizations that apply for more than one 1-year membership at the Professional, Field Director, First Nations Consultation Staff, First Nations Liaison and/or Associate membership levels.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR ORGANIZATION MEMBERS TO OBTAIN THIS DISCOUNT, PLEASE CONTACT OUR APA MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR (SEE BELOW) BEFORE MEMBERS COMPLETE THE APPLICATION.

Please provide a list of names and membership category for each member applying. Once it is verified that at least one colleague is an active member, the 20% discount for a 1-year membership will be available to you. If paying on-line, the 20% will be refunded to you, and if paying by cheque you would make the cheque out for the appropriate 1-year fee amount less 20%. If you have additional questions, please contact our Membership Director. Note that all 3-year memberships already include the 20% discount in the fee amounts.
