Join Us

Thank you for your interest in ALPhA. Membership contributions are $50 for the calendar year which runs Jan. 1 to Dec. 31.* There is a discount for joining midyear. To join ALPhA, please fill out your email below and push the "Next" button to get started. You may contribute with a credit or debit card, or a check. Reduced membership rates ($30 per calendar year) are available for graduate students and postdocs, as well as members who cannot afford to pay the full membership rate for whatever reason. ALPhA uses membership fees to organize programming like ALPhA Immersions and BFY conferences, so we ask that if you are able, you pay the full membership fee.

To renew your membership in ALPhA, rather than join ALPhA, don't fill out the form below. Instead, you need to first login to the ALPhA website using your email address and password. Then, click on the orange button at the top of the page with your name on it. This will take you to your profile page. Under the "Membership details" section you need to click on the "Renew" button to renew your membership.

* My membership fee used to be $30. Why is it $50 now?

ALPhA's membership dues were set at $30 in 2007. Because of inflation and NSF grant support for ALPhA Immersions ending in 2024, ALPhA was faced with reducing our programming or increasing dues. In Fall of 2023, ALPhA's Board of Directors voted to (at least) maintain our current level of programming and increase dues to $50 per calendar year.
