Unemployed Membership Benefit Extension Program

APICS understands that it can be difficult to afford membership dues while searching for employment. To help ensure continuation of your APICS membership benefits, APICS Board of Directors established a dues waiver policy for unemployed members.

Members approved for this waiver will receive electronic membership for the duration of the waiver, which entitles you to electronic communication of all member benefit materials. All other member benefits will remain the same including voting privileges, the ability to hold elected office and serve on committees, local chapter membership, training and certification exam registration at membership discounted rates, and eligibility for certification maintenance points.

If you are an unemployed APICS member whose membership is coming up for renewal and you are actively seeking work within the supply chain & operations management sectors, you may apply for an extension of membership benefits through the Unemployed Membership Extension Program.

This program enables unemployed members who are actively seeking employment within the supply chain and operations management sectors to extend their membership for six months free of charge*. If you meet the critters and are interested in applying for an extension of membership benefits due to unemployment, download an application and have your application approved by the APICS Vancouver Chapter. Contact the chapter's director of membership for more details.

Completed applications must be received by APICS corporate no later than 30 days after membership expiration date. The application form must be signed by the member and approved by the member's chapter president.

*Note: If you remains unemployed at the end of the extension period, you may apply for an additional extension. Total extensions will be limited to three for a total of 18 months membership without assessed fees. For complete rules, see page 2 of the application form.
