Community of Peers

APPAM Communities: Propose a new APPAM Community group or serve as a chair for an existing Community. These groups meet virtually and in-person based on an element or idea such as religion, research type, geography and more. These Communities provide invaluable opportunity for connection and we encourage leadership within Institutional Members. 

 E-ListsAPPAM strives to provide our members with access to a broad collection of tools, content, practical resources, and a smart and vibrant community of peers via the E-List Member Forum Communities. These groups serve as a platform to solicit the advice of your peers, benefit from their experience, and participate in ongoing conversations.

Membership Directory: This members-only institutional and individual member database allows you to search for colleagues based on location, research topic, and member type. Did you meet someone at the last conference you attended? Many members build future research collaborations by connecting via the directory.

Voting and Nominations: The Committee of Institutional Members elects one person to the Policy Council each year. Institutional Members can also nominate students for various APPAM opportunities and awards throughout the year.

Westat

Westat's APPAM institutional membership has been a tremendous source of value to our organization. Through APPAM, we are part of a strong community of experts-researchers, practitioners, and peer organizations-working to improve people's lives through the impact of public policy. We benefit not only from APPAM's professional network, but also the opportunities to drive engagement with our work and mission that are available to institutional members. I served as APPAM's Institutional Representatives Chair for two years and during that time, I became even more engaged in the organization and saw up close all the good APPAM does. I am proud to be part of this great group of people doing meaningful work.

Membership Dues & How to Join

APPAM defines an institutional member to be an entire organization, or any specific unit within an organization that might pay the annual institutional dues. Multiple units within an organization may join as institutional members so that they are listed individually in the Membership Directory, have their own representative, and own membership benefits.

Please note that institutional membership does not include individual membership benefits for all persons employed at an APPAM institutional member. To enjoy individual membership benefits, the institution must set up the complimentary memberships, or an individual can join as a professional member.

Institutional Membership: $2,500/year

Please email membership@appam.org with any questions or to renew your Institutional Membership.
