While no one likes a dues increase of any size, particularly in this time of economic uncertainty, the costs of running ALPHA has increased. To help ensure that we provide our members with an array of quality membership benefits, the Board of Directors has approved the Association’s first dues increase in over 5 years. Starting August 1, dues for individual members will increase to $55 and organizational dues will increase by $25 in each financial category. Retired and students membership dues will remain the same.

We hope that our members understand the necessity of the dues increase and will maintain their membership so that ALPHA can continue working to advance the public’s health.

Welcome to the new ALPHA website! In a 2008 survey of our members and partners, we learned that one of the most valued services that we provide is networking opportunities and updates in public health. Most of this happens at ALPHA’s annual Health Summit. Were there other ways that we could connect with our members and facilitate them connecting with one another? Realizing that our website needed to be updated, we decided to make the website a gathering place for people and ideas.
