AAW does not sell or release our membership list to any person, group or organization for commercial purposes.

DUES:

Membership

There are five (5) classes of Individual membership:
1.) Individual Membership: all persons involved with agriculture who have paid the annual dues.
2.) Single Membership: in a state or commodity affiliate that pays an affiliate fee based on the number of its members, all members who wish to join AAW as individual members would pay the annual dues of $30.00. Individuals who wish to join AAW but not any state or commodity affiliate would also pay $30.00 dues.
3.) Individual Affiliate Membership: when the affiliate collects the AAW dues with its affiliate dues and forwards AAW dues with membership data to the AAW Membership Chairman, the dues shall be $30.00 per year per member. If AAE dues are optional, then the affiliate dues must be paid. Once an affiliate has dual membership, it will continue as dual membership. All future state affiliates will pay the dual membership.
4.) Collegiate Membership: college students wishing to join under single or individual memberships, may join at half the normal rate.
5.) Lifetime Membership: when an individual chooses to pay $500.00 in one lump sum; or when an individual group wishes to gift a special member with a one time $500.00 lifetime membership: that member enjoys all the rights and privileges of full yearly voting membership for her lifetime and joins the elite group of AAW leadership for special recognition.

Donor Members:

1. Silver Donor: when an individual chooses to give $50.00 per year in addition to the single member fee: that member will appear on the silver honor roll to be published in the Voice.
2.) Gold Donor: when an individual chooses to pay $100.00 per year in addition to the single member fee: that member shall appear on the golden honor roll to be published in the Voice, and will be recognized at the Annual Meeting.
