AAGP Affiliate Membership Application for Non-Psychiatrists
The American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (AAGP) is pleased to announce the sixth year of the AAGP Affiliate program for non-psychiatrists. The AAGP membership committee will review applications of persons interested in becoming Affiliates to determine those individuals who meet the criteria, and will forward their names to the Board of Directors to be voted upon, after which you will be contacted.
Eligibility
1. The applicant must have an advanced degree (masters level or higher); and
2. The applicant must meet ONE OR MORE of the following criteria:
2a. have an active research grant (as principal or co-investigator) in an area related to geriatric mental health;

Rights and Benefits
Affiliates receive all standard member benefits (e.g., subscriptions, member discounts) and may:
1. as determined by the Board, serve on committees in a non-chair capacity;
2. attend AAGP open Board Meetings; and
3. participate for a reduced annual fee (e.g., $185 vs. $245 for Full Members).

At this time, Affiliates may not sit on the board, chair committees, sit on the Executive or Nominations Committee (Public Policy Committee--TBD), vote for board members or on referenda, or participate in AAGP governance.
