Voting Power
Members have a strong voice in helping to shape the future of APHE.

Conference Invites
APHE has a National Conference, with a format that has been perfected over the past three decades, including the Sharing Corral, APHE's unique chance for everyone to be a presenter! This is a great forum for sharing your programs and materials with your peers. Members are also invited to participate in regional workshops, held throughout the year.

Networking Opportunities
Perhaps the greatest benefit of membership is the chance to network with leaders in the field and to be supported by your peers. One of the best networking tools is the Email List.

American Humane Association Membership*
