JOIN US: APPLICATION FOR AAEP MEMBERSHIP

We welcome new members to our group as we believe our connections make each of us stronger and our programs better. Our members come from coast to coast and represent many different types of programs.  Each program and its director are unique, representing children, preteens and teens, adults and businesses.  Some programs are school based, other are cotillion-like, still others are one-of-a-kind.  All are designed to work with the clientele of a specific area.  It is exciting that, no matter what our own programs are, we can learn from each director/owner and find new ways to improve our programs.
 
To be considered for acceptance, please fill out the application below. Your application will be reviewed as soon as possible and you will be contacted by the membership committee upon approval.   Applications will not be accepted when there is a current member with a similar program within the same area. 
​
Members Yearly Dues
Annual Dues:   $100
January 1-December 31
Dues will be pro-rated.
