Membership in the Midwest Chapter is
required for new and renewing members of APLD in our service area. Chapter dues are
automatically included in your annual membership.
Students may
also be members. APLD will not charge a fee for
full-time 'traditional' student members, but Chapters may.
This individual must be actively enrolled in a landscape design, landscape
architecture, or horticulture program that requires at least 37 credit hours
or 600 contact hours of design and horticulture related coursework to
graduate. (A contact hour is a unit of measure that represents one hour of
scheduled instruction given to students.) Student status is renewed
annually.
Professional Education and Certificate
Students are part-time students
in a program requiring at least 24 credits are offered a discounted
membership. Students are enrolled in either a full
or part-time basis. Also included in this category are part-time students
attending a 2- or 4-year college or university. Limited to four years of
membership at this level. Members taking courses to complete required CEU's
for certification are excluded from this level of membership. These students
pay a reduced Associate rate of $50 annually and must provide a copy of the
Student ID card with membership submission.
Any student member may not be practicing landscape design
for free or in a fee-generating capacity unless it is part
of a student internship related to their design program.
To accommodate students, the Midwest Chapter has adopted a
policy called "20/20".
Students provide 20 hours of volunteer time in
support of the Midwest Regional Chapter, or pay $20 in dues instead.
Specifics of this policy will be available upon request via this link:
