On September 30, 2023, the AACS Board of Trustees approved an update to the Annual Membership Dues Policy.  Effective January 1, 2024, if a member fails to pay the applicable annual membership fee on or before January 1, their membership shall be automatically suspended until the dues have been paid in full, plus a $100 reinstatement fee. If the membership has lapsed for more than two years, the member must reapply, pay the application fee, and the application must go through the new member approval process.  During any period of suspension, the suspended member shall not enjoy any of the rights or privileges of membership, including the use of the AACS logo.
