Your ADAA Central Office continually updates the actual membership processes in an effort to better serve your needs. After reviewing this, if you have any questions or need additional membership applications, please contact ADAA Central Office membership staff. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Renewals

If you are renewing your membership and submit your check or credit card payment in the envelope provided with your first notice, your renewal will follow this path:

* Your renewal payment comes to Central Office for processing and is entered into ADAA's database on a first-come, first-served “FCFS” redirects here. For the figure skating competition, see Four Continents Figure Skating Championships.

 basis. During peak times this can take up to three weeks.

* Membership information is then collected and your membership card and/or certificate is created. Central Office needs two to four weeks to create the card, and then it is mailed to you.

Your membership card should arrive within four weeks of ADAA receiving your payment.

New Members

The process is similar for new members of ADAA. The processing time is the same as for renewals, and new members should receive their membership card as well as a new member packet within four weeks of application and payment.

Please note that the processing time is substantially delayed for incomplete applications.

Some examples:

* Incomplete payment

* Incomplete required information (address, name, etc.)

* Nonpayment of constituent or component dues

* Incorrect address

* For renewing student members, schools must sign off on the student's renewal invoice

* Student checks not acceptable unless certified See certification.  

Semi-annual Payment Plan

This is the same for renewals or new members; your first check or credit card payment is applied when you send your renewal or application (one-half of total dues plus a one-time $5 service charge and a one-time $10 insurance charge). Your new card will show your six-month expiration date Expiration Date

The day on which an options or futures contract is no longer valid and, therefore, ceases to exist.

Notes:
The expiration date for all listed stock options in the U.S.
. Your next half-year payment that does not include a service charge or insurance charge will be billed to you prior to the new expiration date printed on your new membership card. At the end of the second six-month cycle of your membership, you will be billed for a full year and given the option of a half-year payment. When paying for six months, the date six months forward becomes your expiration date and this is the date on your national record and that which is sent to your state.

There is a special payment plan for students converting to Active Member status.

Your membership card should arrive within four weeks of ADAA receiving your payment.

If at any time after submitting your renewal or application and before receiving your membership card you should require proof of membership to attend a function or to apply for member benefits, you may call Member Records at 312-541-1550 x 213. Proof of membership verification can be mailed or faxed to you. Please have date of cancelled check or date charged to credit card available. If payment was submitted and you have not received anything within four weeks, call the office at 312/541-1550 x 201.

Special Note for Students Converting to Active Membership

You may wonder why your new membership card reads "AS1." This is because of ADAA's sliding scale slid·ing scale

A scale in which indicated prices, taxes, or wages vary in accordance with another factor, as wages with the cost-of-living index or medical charges with a patient's income.
 of reduced dues for student-to-active members. During the first year after graduation Graduation is the action of receiving or conferring an academic degree or the associated ceremony. The date of event is often called degree day. The event itself is also called commencement, convocation or invocation. , dues for this category of member will be $45 plus state dues. Second year (AS2) will be $65 plus state dues and third year (AS3) will be $85 plus state dues. The next year, full dues will be charged.

Relationships to State and Local Components
