AAAP Membership Dues Increase - Effective 2026
Starting in 2026, AAAP membership dues will increase to accommodate inflation-related expenses and ensure continued support for our profession.
- Full and Associate Member Dues: Increasing from $220/year (2025) to $250/year (2026)
- Student Member Dues: Increasing from $20/year (2025) to $25/year (2026)
At the January 2025 Board of Directors Meeting, the AAAP Board carefully considered this decision, recognizing the importance of maintaining the association's ability to serve its members effectively. This is the first dues increase since 2015, and it was made with thoughtful deliberation to compensate for inflation related increased expenses within the association to ensure AAAP can continue addressing the evolving needs of the poultry profession and its members.
The association is grateful for its member support. It's thanks to the outstanding volunteers within association serving on committees, task forces, and other leadership roles that the AAAP can continually strive towards our mission: to facilitate member collaboration, to advance science-based knowledge, expertise, and education on poultry health, welfare, and food safety.
Finally, we would like to remind all of our members of all the member benefits offered to them for being a full, associate, or student member of this association. For additional information, we encourage you to visit our website at: https://aaap.info
Thank you for being a valued part of AAAP!
Next Steps
Starting now and for the next 30 days, the AAAP Board of Directors would like to hear AAAP member's comments on the proposed changes. All comments will be visible to all members. Comments can be made by scrolling to the bottom of this post, typing your comment in the text box, and clicking the green "post" button. You can also make an anonymous comment by clicking here.
After the comment period is up, the Board of Directors will view comments from membership and use member feedback to finalize the new AAAP member dues increases that will be implemented for 2026.
It is good that the student dues are not increasing by a large amount, as AAAP membership is a great resource for students and a good way to recruit future colleagues. I do not think $250 is excessive given the benefits provided and the population served by full or associate AAAP membership.
It is a reasonable increase to keep the organization in a good financial position. Just one suggestion: The $25/year dollars should be for a "full time student".
The members depend on the board to be good stewards of the organization, keep the AAAP financially sound, and inform us accordingly. This is a reasonable adjustment in dues.

Not an issue at my end. Glad to see that it is still very low for students.
