MEMBERSHIP


Student Membership

Consideration: Eliminate Student Membership Dues

As a part of the 2013 strategic planning process, the APICS board affirmed its commitment to improve access to APICS membership benefits to students across the globe who are considering careers in supply chain and operations management.

There is an imperative to build awareness and loyalty to APICS as an organization so that we can be a partner throughout their careers.


Student Membership

The current $25 dues amount creates the following issues:

$25, while a nominal amount in US currency, is a more substantial fee for students in a number of emerging economies, such as India. These students are not likely to even consider becoming student members due to price.

Most faculty members are not willing to mandate that students become APICS members because of the fee associated. This means that members-only information benefits (e.g. Folios, APICS Dictionary, Career Packs, Practitioner Research Reports, etc.) cannot be used in the classroom due to copyright restrictions.


Student Membership

Student membership in APICS has fluctuated between 4,000 (1995) and about 2,400 during the recession.

While APICS now has more than 3,000 student members, we have not been able to significantly improve our penetration.

Eliminating student dues will immediately enable us to reach more students not only through faculty, but through our own efforts such as case competitions.

The Board made the decision to eliminate student dues retroactive to January 1, 2014. The implementation plan is being finalized and will be

shared with partners shortly.
