Membership Joint Initiative Between Divisions 28 and 50

Members, Students, and Affiliates of APA Divisions 28 and 50,

The Presidents and Membership Chairs of APA Division 28 (Psychopharmacology and Substance Abuse) and Division 50 (Society of Addiction Psychology) encourage members of each division to join both divisions. Divisions 28 and 50 are closely affiliated and have worked jointly for over two decades to address problems related to substance use and addiction. We partner regularly to develop programming for the APA Convention, to engage in interdivision initiatives within APA, and to contribute to APA-sponsored task forces that address the problems of drug addiction.

The missions of our two divisions are closely aligned and many of our leaders maintain active memberships in both divisions. Importantly, membership fees for both divisions are remarkably low.  Annual membership dues are $20 ($9.00 for students) in Division 28, and $45 ($29 for students with journal subscription; $12.50 without) in Division 50. This represents an enviable cost-to-benefit ratio for two of the leading organizations in our field.

Sincerely,

Mark Smith
