  4. How do I know if I should pay the member or non-member rate for the conference?
    There are two ways to indicate AFCPE member status.
    1. If you paid the annual member dues of $100 for the current conference year, you are entitled to the member registration price. 
    2. If you attended the conference the previous year, you automatically received a complimentary membership for the following year.  For example, if you attended the AFCPE Conference in 2010, you are a member for 2011. 
  5. Am I a member of AFCPE since I paid my certification annual fees?
    The certification program and membership are completely separate.  Membership dues are paid annually.  Membership dues are $100.  The student membership rate is $35.

    If you have successfully completed the certification program, you will pay an annual fee to maintain your designation ($45 for AFC or $60 for CHC). 

    If you would like to become a member in addition to maintaining your designation, you would need to pay both the certification annual fee and the membership dues annually.
