AAPS B-Laws require that the &quot;Association shall enroll each person accepted as a member of the Association as a member of the affiliated Academy which represents most closely the member&#39;s area of practice and interests.&quot; New members may be assigned to more than one academy based upon their training and experience.</p>\r\n<p>\r\n	<b>Diplomate Members</b><br />\r\n	Diplomate members are members of the Academy who have been certified by the ABPS Board of Certification in the same specialty. Upon achieving Diplomate status, members enjoy privileges not available to other academy members. Diplomate members may be elected to serve as an Officer or Governor of their Academy and in this capacity they can vote for members of the ABPS Board of Certification in their specialty. In addition, only Diplomates may be selected by their Academy to receive the Physician of the Year award or to receive the Degree of Fellow.</p>\r\n<p>\r\n	<b>Council of Academy Presidents</b><br />\r\n	The Council of Academy Presidents (CAP) is composed of the presidents of each Academy and provides a forum for presidents to meet and explore issues facing the association and to devise concerted strategies and responses to those issues. The roles of the CAP include to:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>\r\n		Oversee and guide the direction of the professional academies recognized by and affiliated with the association to facilitate each Academy&#39;s promotion of the highest intellectual, moral, and ethical standards in the practice of the medical specialty or specialties represented by the respective Academies;</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n		Establish criteria and make recommendations to the AAPS Board of Directors with respect to the creation, recognition, and affiliation of other professional academies;</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n		Establish, with the approval of the AAPS Board of Directors, standards for the use of the professional academies in awarding the Degree of Fellow; and</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n		Advise and inform the AAPS Boards of Directors of initiatives and activities related to the educational and professional purposes of the Academies.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>\r\n	<b>Promotion of State-Based Activity</b><br />\r\n	A state-based member initiative was launched in the Fall of 2002 by the Council of Academy Presidents, who believe that some issues facing members might be better resolved via communication within a state than through specialty-based groups. These state-based activities will complement, not replace or compete with, specialty-based academy activities. Therefore, the Academy presidents have taken the lead in contacting members in their home states to encourage communication. Working primarily by email, AAPS members will have the ability to share solutions to problems that others may also face. The second phase of the initiative will be for other Academy officers to contact members in their states, thus multiplying the number of states and members involved.</p>\r\n',0,'2010-04-15 12:30:25','2010-04-15 12:30:25',1),(457,23,7,NULL,'','AAPS Political Action Committies - National Initiative Fund','National-Initiative-Fund-NIF','','AAPS established the National Initiative Fund (NIF) which is an arm of AAPS that focuses solely on representing the interests of its diplomats and members before U.S. Congress','National Initiative Fund (NIF)','','','<p>\r\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.aapsus.org/userfiles/images/NIFLOGO2008(1).JPG\" style=\"width: 144px; height: 288px\" />Several years ago, AAPS established the National Initiative Fund (NIF) which is an arm of AAPS that focuses solely on representing the interests of its Diplomates and members before U.S. Congress, state legislatures, state and federal courts, state medical boards, insurance companies, hospitals, health plans and hospital systems.</p>\r\n<p>\r\n	NIF is not a Political Action Committee (PAC)&nbsp;and does not solicit nor distribute political campaign donations.

For example: If joined in April&nbsp;2010&nbsp;then membership in AAPS is from April 2010&nbsp;to December 31, 2010.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: If I join as a new member later in the year, do I have to pay the full year&#39;s CMF or dues? </b><br />\r\n	A: Annual&nbsp; CMF or dues are prorated in quarterly increments over the course of a year. The&nbsp; membership amount&nbsp;is based on the date in which you are certified (become a Diplomate) or the date&nbsp;your membership application was received and the&nbsp;annual fees&nbsp;were billed. The percentage amounts are as follows: January 1 - March 31, 100% of annual fees, April 1 - June 30, 75% of annual fees, July 1 - September 30, 50% of annual fees, October 1 - December 31, 25% of annual fees.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: Who is considered a New Member? </b><br />\r\n	A. This is an individual who has never been certified with ABPS, and who has never&nbsp;paid annual fees to the organization at any time.&nbsp;Prior to paying the annual fees, these&nbsp;are applicants provided they have a membership, certification, or both applications on file.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: When will I receive a dues notice? </b><br />\r\n	A: Initial annual fees or dues notices are mailed in October for the following year&nbsp;to allow members adequate time to pay their annual fees prior to the first of the next year. Additional notices are&nbsp;distributed in December, February (with late fees added), and a letter informing the member of removal from &quot;good standing&quot; is mailed on April 1,&nbsp;if a member has not paid their annual fees by that time.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: Do I have to pay my annual dues by January 1? </b><br />\r\n	A: No. However, it is recommend your payment is remitted as soon as possible, but it is not required to be in by January 1. Fees or dues received after January 31 are billed a late fee.&nbsp;Also,&nbsp;in order to remain a member in &quot;good standing&quot;,&nbsp;annual fees or dues&nbsp;must be received&nbsp;no later than March 31 of the involved year.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: What is a member in &quot;good standing&quot; and how does it affect me? </b><br />\r\n	A: A member in &quot;good standing&quot; is a Diplomate or member&nbsp;with up-to-date&nbsp;fees or dues for the current billing year or prior year(s) before&nbsp; March 31 of the billing year. Only Diplomates or members in &quot;good standing&quot; receive organizational mailings, information and credentials verified by AAPS.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: What will I have to do, if my membership lapses? </b><br />\r\n	A:&nbsp;If a membership is lapsed,&nbsp;the member&nbsp;will have to pay all outstanding fees or dues, late fees, and reinstatement fees up through the current year prior to their membership being reinstated.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: What are the Auxiliary Dues? </b><br />\r\n	A: Auxiliary dues are to support&nbsp;the various social events&nbsp; or programs offered by AAPS/ABPS.

The&nbsp; membership amount&nbsp;is based on the date in which you are certified (become a Diplomate) or the date&nbsp;your membership application was received and the&nbsp;annual fees&nbsp;were billed. The percentage amounts are as follows: January 1 - March 31, 100% of annual fees, April 1 - June 30, 75% of annual fees, July 1 - September 30, 50% of annual fees, October 1 - December 31, 25% of annual fees.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: Who is considered a New Member? </b><br />\r\n	A.

Additional notices are&nbsp;distributed in December, February (with late fees added), and a letter informing the member of removal from &quot;good standing&quot; is mailed on April 1,&nbsp;if a member has not paid their annual fees by that time.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: Do I have to pay my annual dues by January 1? </b><br />\r\n	A: No. However, it is recommend your payment is remitted as soon as possible, but it is not required to be in by January 1. Fees or dues received after January 31 are billed a late fee.&nbsp;Also,&nbsp;in order to remain a member in &quot;good standing&quot;,&nbsp;annual fees or dues&nbsp;must be received&nbsp;no later than March 31 of the involved year.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: What is a member in &quot;good standing&quot; and how does it affect me? </b><br />\r\n	A: A member in &quot;good standing&quot; is a Diplomate or member&nbsp;with up-to-date&nbsp;fees or dues for the current billing year or prior year(s) before&nbsp; March 31 of the billing year. Only Diplomates or members in &quot;good standing&quot; receive organizational mailings, information and credentials verified by AAPS.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: What will I have to do, if my membership lapses? </b><br />\r\n	A:&nbsp;If a membership is lapsed,&nbsp;the member&nbsp;will have to pay all outstanding fees or dues, late fees, and reinstatement fees up through the current year prior to their membership being reinstated.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: What are the Auxiliary Dues? </b><br />\r\n	A: Auxiliary dues are to support&nbsp;the various social events&nbsp; or programs offered by AAPS/ABPS. These dues are totally voluntary and are not mandatory payments for a member to remain in &quot;good standing&quot; except for Auxiliary board officers.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: What are late fees&nbsp;&amp; reinstatement fees and when are they charged? </b><br />\r\n	A: Late and reinstatement fees are added at certain points in the billing year for&nbsp;member(s) who have not yet paid required certification maintenance fees (CMF) or membership dues. Late fees are billed to Diplomates or members who have not paid their annual fees/dues before January 31 of the&nbsp;billing year. Reinstatement fees are billed to members who have not paid their&nbsp;annual fees/dues by March 31, and are no longer a member in &quot;good standing&quot;. Both fees are mandatory payments billed to the individual.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: How can I pay my annual dues? </b><br />\r\n	A: Annual fees/dues can be paid via&nbsp;check, money order, Visa,&nbsp;&nbsp;MasterCard and American Express.&nbsp; There is no fee for Visa and Master Card; however, a 3% fee of the total charge (over $1,000) is applicable for American Express credit card charges.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	&nbsp;</p>\r\n<h3>\r\n	<a href=\"http://aapsus.org/userfiles/files/CMFInvoice(1).pdf\">2010 Statement Notice Diagram</a></h3>\r\n<p>\r\n	&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>\r\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.aapsus.org/userfiles/images/CMF Invoice2010(1).jpg\" style=\"width: 848px; float: left; height: 1200px;\" /></p>\r\n<p>\r\n	&nbsp;</p>\r\n<div class=\"clr\">\r\n	&nbsp;</div>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	NOTE:&nbsp; All pricing is subject to change prior to annual billing cycles starting.
