Refer a Friend and Earn a Chance to Save!

Word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool and APSE wants to make the most of it! We’ve started a Refer-a-Friend campaign that allows you to save money on your National APSE membership with every successful referral*. Friends who join will save money too. And all of you will enjoy APSE’s wonderful membership benefits, including a discount on conference registrations, professional development opportunities and much more.

All members who make a successful referral will receive:

A $5 savings on their next membership renewal for each referral that results in a new individual membership with APSE*
A $20 savings on their next membership renewal for each referral that results in a new business membership with APSE*

All referrals will be offered a 10% discount on any National APSE membership type.

Start referring – and start saving today!

*In instances of multiple referrals resulting in one membership, only the successful referral-maker will receive the membership savings. A unique code is generated during the enrollment process, revealing the origin of the successful referral. Referral savings will be limited to the total of a member's annual renewal rate. For example, a Professional Member who renews at the rate of $120 annually cannot exceed this dollar amount in savings per year.
