Any paid or volunteer staff member whose responsibility is planning activities for seniors may be a member of this association.
Members may belong to GAAP without belonging to the national association, National Association of Activity Professionals, NAAP. Each of the associations have independent membership requirements.
Non-members, those persons wishing to work in the field but not associated with a facility at the time of a meeting, may attend membership meetings for the cost of the individual meeting.
The annual dues for active member facilities are $50.00 per year and $10.00 for each additional person. If your facility has 3 staff members that plan to belong and attend meetings, the dues would be $70.00.
Active member facilities are required to pay dues in January. New members pay the facility fee anytime during the calendar year as they join the association. Any number of employees from one facility can join GAAP.
Membership meetings cost $20.00 per member per meeting. This pays for speakers and lunch. Fees for membership meetings are separate from special events and training opportunities. All checks should be payable to GAAP.
Members must pre-register for meetings. A meeting registration deadline will be stated on all meeting notices. If a member plans to pay on the day of the meeting, the member must either fax or verbally inform the Communication Chair/Secretary prior to the meeting. A late fee of $5.00 per person will be imposed for registrations that are postmarked after the deadline date.
All funds will be deposited into an account established under the association name in a timely manner. Voluntary or specified donations will be accepted by the treasurer and deposited in the account at any time.
