all APCA dealings.
Article ii. Membership Membership applicants must submit a membership application form along with all membership fees.
This form must be signed by an authorized representative of the
university or organization seeking membership. APCA accepts no liability for any misrepresentation by any organization member or other persons wrongfully claiming to be representatives of applying organization. Membership in
APCA allows participants to attend all APCA sponsored functions (with payment of appropriate fees), subscriptions to all APCA publications, access to all APCA services, and eligibility to serve on APCA committees and receive
APCA appointments. Yearly membership fees are currently $299 and membership begins on date of acceptance and ends on the next occurance of July 1st. Any adjust-ments to this schedule of membership terms must be made by the APCA
executive director. APCA reserves the right to accept or refuse membership to any individual or organization based on APCA evaluation of the applicant. APCA also reserves the right to terminate any membership if it feels that
the member's continued association with APCA would be detrimental to the achievement of APCA goals and furthering of association principles. APCA executive director will have jurisdiction in all such membership matters.
Applicant agrees to forever indemnify and hold APCA, APCA executive director & advisory committee, or any other APCA representatives harmless for rejection of application or termination of membership by executive director
and from any other such claims and damages arising from any such termination or rejection of membership by APCA representatives. From time to time, the APCA will, in the normal course of the administration of APCA, make
revisions and additions to APCA membership policies, grievance procedures, prices, exhibiting policies, showcase policies, or other policies in response to changing membership needs and input. Upon ratification by APCA
executive director, final drafts of these policies will be binding upon all APCA members.
