Membership Registration Form

Dear CSTEP/STEP Project Directors:

Both STEP and CSTEP have outstanding records of accomplishment serving students in STEM and the licensed professions. APACS would like to continue organizational growth and momentum, which depends greatly on receiving your membership dues for 2010. The current budget is challenging; and proactive advocacy strategies are essential. APACS has been instrumental in organizing the statewide efforts to advocate for past restoration of STEP and CSTEP.

Even in challenging environments, we are excited about the work we do and look forward to the future. Each program has an integral responsibility to the organization's success – which begins with your membership in APACS. Your dues help provide numerous benefits, which include the following:

• The Annual APACS Best Practices Conference and Annual Meeting.
  
  
• Professional development workshops and networking meetings at the Statewide STEP and CSTEP student conferences.
  
  
• The APACS website (APACS.org) to keep abreast of important statewide developments.
  
  
• Fellowship funding for scholarly research related to STEP/CSTEP.
  
  
• Formal mentoring provided by seasoned STEP and CSTEP Staff.
  
  
• Organizing and coordinating essential advocacy efforts with key elected New York State officials to ensure adequate funding for our programs.
  
  
• Voting privileges at the APACS Annual Meeting to make decisions on key future initiatives.
  
  
• Pressing for an application fee waiver for STEP and CSTEP students applying to institutions with STEP and CSTEP programs.
  

APACS needs your support through your membership dues and participation now more than ever! Our goal is to reach 100% membership from all programs. There is strength in numbers, and your membership provides us with the support needed to continue successfully representing our programs and offer the professional development, collaboration, and increased visibility that our programs deserve.

The deadline for 2010 membership dues is Monday April 26, 2010. Make checks payable to APACS, Inc. and mail with completed form to the address on the Annual Dues Form. On behalf of the APACS Membership Committee, thank you in advance for your support of APACS. We look forward to your participation and commitment in 2010.
