Membership responsibilities
While members are encouraged to be active in voting and in the
association members determine their own level of activity, members may
even remain anonymous if they wish. Membership fees are due
annually, rates are published in the Membership Rates section.
Members are not required to purchase products from the purchasing
group, but the purchasing group was established to ensure material
availability at great prices as well as to fund the APA so we do
strongly encourage members to consider purchasing through the
purchasing group.
Membership Fees
The annual fee for membership is $100 (per location).
Who is the purchasing group?
The purchasing group is Automotive Painters Purchasing Group,
Inc. (APPG) they are a separate organization from APA and were chosen
to supply our members with a purchasing option that meets the unique
needs of our business. In addition APPG funds APA by providing it
a percentage of every purchase made by our members. The
percentages are as follows: Paint and Wet Goods 3% and Dry Goods 1%.
Where do my membership fees go?
Membership fees are used to pay administrative costs, disperse
information to members, develop sales tools and training aids to
increase center profitability, retain legal counsel to protect the
interests of APA members, and fund a holding account which will fund
any legal actions necessary to protect the interests of APA
members. All APA officers are volunteers and no compensation is
offered for their services.
