AF&PA Value Based Dues System

The Value Based Dues system was created to provide a direct relationship between the value a member receives and the dues the member pays. How it works:

• Companies pay for issues and projects based upon relevance to their business
• Relevance is determined by product sales and assets owned
• Factors are developed and changes approved by AF&PA's Board of Directors

The Value Based Dues system allows us to clearly communicate to each member company what issues and programs their dues dollars support.
