What happens with an APO membership for a member who takes maternity leave?
In order for an individual to retain active member status in APO, the membership needs to be renewed each year. Memberships are not transferable to/from a person who replaces the activity professional on maternity leave, even in cases where the facility pays for membership. It is advisable to use your home address as you primary point of contact to ensure you receive all APO mailings, including newsletters and announcements. By maintaining your membership while on maternity leave, you will continue to receive all membership benefits, continue to accrue uninterrupted professional standing, and continue to keep abreast of happenings within the organization and in the profession.
