FAQs about the February 2025 Pause

Following the APAP|NYC 2025 conference and in preparation for meeting the year-one milestones of APAP’s five-year Sustainability Plan, the APAP staff will have a "purposeful pause" from February 3-28, 2025 in order to rest and reset. Rest assured, we are putting systems in place to maintain essential services and ensure continuity during this pause.

The APAP staff will return on March 3, 2025. 

Below are some frequently asked questions about the February 2025 pause.

Membership

If you or your organization are within 90 days of your renewal date, the primary contact person for your organization (or you if you are an individual member) can renew your membership online.  

Login on the APAP website here and navigate to “My Account”, then “My Invoices” where you will see an invoice for the upcoming renewal period. 

If your dues amount seems inaccurate, you can recalculate by visiting the renew page on our website. On that page, scroll down until you see “My Organization’s Membership”. You should see a green button that says “renew” or “reinstate”, this will allow you to recalculate your dues.

The membership join process for individuals and organizations will not be available during the pause. Those interested in joining APAP as a new member can indicate your interest here, and you will be contacted by an APAP team member in March.

APAP members can get copies of their membership invoices and receipts online. The primary contact person for your organization can login on the APAP website here and navigate to “My Account” and then “My Invoices”. About half-way down this page, you will see a series of radial buttons labelled “show paid invoices, show unpaid invoices, both invoice types”. We recommend that you click “both invoice types” and then click “search”. The results will show all paid invoices, which you can then download for your own records.

The latest versions of the APAP membership directories (individual and organizational) are available to members when you login to the website here.

On the homepage of the APAP website www.apap365.org, click on the login button in the upper right corner. When this page loads, look to the left side of the page just below the green “sign in” button where it says “Do you need help signing into our site?” and follow the instructions. If these instructions don’t work for you, an APAP team member can help when we return in March.
