How do I cancel my membership?

All memberships expire annually

AANA Memberships are for a pre-paid term from September 1 through August 31. The full amount is due September 1 annually, with a 60-day grace period to pay, and dues are not prorated. This means that regardless of when you pay for your annual membership, it will expire on August 31, and your member benefits will no longer be accessible on November 1 if not renewed.

Canceling an annual auto-renewal

Within the renewal form, you can switch your renewal type to remove the auto-draft or request to end your membership. Please do so before September 1.

Canceling a quarterly installment auto-renewal

Within the renewal form, you can switch your renewal type to remove the auto-draft at the beginning of the year.

The installments spread your annual payment into 4 equal payments. You are responsible for all 4 payments, even if you would like to cancel. You may request to end your membership, but please note that if you have any remaining installments due within that membership year, they will be drafted automatically at the time of cancellation.

You're expected to maintain an active card on file. If you fail to complete an installment payment, that will result in a loss of your membership. To reinstate your membership, all you have to do is update your card on file and catch up on your payments.

Caution: If you have NOT removed your auto-renew preference from your account, your card will be drafted on or around September 1. You will be notified 1 week prior to the draft.

Canceling due to retirement

You may request to end your membership and choose to become an Emeritus member if you meet these eligibility requirements:

Have 25 years of Active membership with the AANA; and
Are no longer practicing

If you are on the quarterly installment plan, and you would like to end your membership early, you are still responsible for any outstanding payments.

Note: Recording your full CE transcript is a benefit for AANA Active Members only. If you are an Inactive, Associate, or Emeritus Member (or if you are not a member) you will not be able to see your transcript.

Canceling due to a leave of absence or moonlighting

You can downgrade your membership to Inactive for $50 per year to maintain your member benefits like access to insurance, advocacy, and other AANA resources.

Within the renewal form, you can switch your renewal type to Inactive or request to change your membership.
