membership with AALPD! In a little over a week, 116 individuals from 34
states and two countries have joined or renewed membership so far.

 

Please see below for a listing by state/country. Beneath that is the
membership drive announcement that explains membership benefits and how an
updated membership base helps AALPD advocate effectively for PD while
providing members the best possible services. While you can join/renew at
any time (membership is free), we ask that everyone renew during our
membership drive so that we can update our records:
