Member Get a Member Program

Help us grow and enjoy a membership reward!!

One of the AFPA’s aims is to grow our membership to a size that is consistent with the number of AFP employees. This program is important as it increases our ability to reach your colleagues, who benefit from the AFPA’s efforts but have not yet joined the Association.

We are asking members to tap into your network and share the value of AFPA membership with your colleagues and friends. Support your Association and receive a benefit along the way.

As a member of the AFPA you have experienced first-hand the amazing value of membership, and now it’s time to share that value with your colleagues and friends. By sharing your experience and encouraging colleagues to become a member, you strengthen your AFPA. And with the impending EA negotiations, greater membership means a strengthened voice advocating on your behalf and improved benefits for all members.

How does it work?

Simple; when you refer four (4) people and they join the AFPA (see Policy Rules and Definitions below), you will receive a membership rebate of $1,200.00.

When you refer someone as a new member, just make sure that you are named on their registration form as the person referring them.

Prospective members can fill out the form here; the field to nominate yourself as their referrer is just under “Date of birth”.

The form will then automatically be forwarded to the Association for processing.

Policy Rules:

1. Only Eligible Members can be included in the program.

2. New Members will count toward the total of referrals for an Eligible Member only where:
a. the New Member is referred first by the Eligible Member and
b. both continue as AFPA Members for the retention period.

3. New Members will only be counted once for any Eligible Member.

4. AFPA membership applications will be assessed in accordance with AFPA Rules and other relevant policy as applied from time to time, including, the “Member Services & Assistance Policy”.

5. Each time an Eligible Member accumulates Total Referrals of four (4) New Members they will receive the Membership Rebate on the completion of the retention period of all four new members.

6. An AFPA Member is not compelled to receive the Membership Rebate.
