APO Membership
Click here to sign up!
With our new restructuring development towards a Focus Area scheme, we feel that our membership must progress along with these changes. Membership should be the engine that drives a non-profit organization, and we hope that our restructuring will help to empower members to be a part of the APO from a variety of independent vantages and involvements.
There are certain services that the APO has always provided for free to its Members and non-members alike. For instance, access to the APO website, hosting a myriad of important observer resources and links, has always been open to all and the Mail Buoy newsletter has traditionally been made available to anyone who wishes to receive it. These APO primary services shall continue to be free.
Rather than having set membership dues, we are offering Absolutely Free APO Membership!!!
Though you will not be required to pay anything to become an APO Member, we do hope to encourage those who do make use of APO services to become a supporter of the APO by making a donation. You may be surprised to know that at the present time the APO is 100% volunteer run, so your donations will have direct influence on helping this grass roots organization become stronger and provide better services back to you.
Donate to the APO!

Note: As mentioned above, we are presently reconstructing APO Membership into a tiered-membership system with consideration for integrating APO Membership in with our new APO Focus Area scheme and for allowing members to decide to what level they wish to be involved with the APO.
Once we have this system up and running, members will be contacted and asked what interest (if any) you may have with becoming more involved with the APO. We anticipate the majority of members would just like to receive the Mail Buoy and regular announcements though have no other further involvement. You will not be required to respond to this announcement if you do not wish to increase your APO Membership level. However, we do hope that many members may like to become more involved in some way, especially if they can do it independently (i.e. without the cooperation of a Board member). We are doing our best to get this up and running as soon as possible. In the meantime, please feel free to provide your comments and suggestions back to us regarding APO membership: apo@apo-observers.org (be sure to put "APO Membership" in the subject heading).
